database snapshot off of a restoring db

Say I establish log shipping between source A and dest B.
and Dest B is continuously restoring logs, can i perform a snapshot on Dest
B
I know if i do mirroring between the 2 servers than i can snapshot off of
the mirror but wanted to know how it works with log shipping destination
ThanksI have not tested myself but saw this on BOL
Limitations on Database Snapshots
"The source database must be online, unless the database is a mirror
database within a database mirroring session"
