Dropped MBP in snow

[Devonlee]

So I'm really stupid and dropped my MacBook pro in the snow (Canadian problems) i wiped it all off right away and it was working fine, but then twenty minutes later I went and opened it again and it won't turn on. I didn't think there was damage as it was closed and I wiped all the snow off. I now have it open and upside down drying near the furnace, any ideas on what I could do? Is it done for? I'm going to uni this fall and can't really afford a new one. Thanks!

I suppose you could buy a bag of uncooked rice and stuff the MBP into it. Rice absorbs moisture pretty well. Leave it in the rice overnight.
