That’s. It has an apostrophe.

Snow also compresses a great deal under it’s own weight.
While it will be below freezing all winter (6 months or so) at my house, the 20-30 feet of snow that we get will get down to about 4-5 feet.
I’ve been scratching my head over the OP. (No offence.)
Snow melts when it gets warm. Where and how fast it melts depends on so many variables that I just don’t think there can be a simple answer.
It just happens, as the sweet songstress of Saskatchewan, Connie Kaldor puts it:
“Spring on the Prairies
Comes like a surprise.
One day there’s snow on the ground,
The next there’s sun in your eyes!”
It’s going to be -40° (F or C) windchill tonight (Actual temp -13° F).
Ain’t gonna be no snow melting nowhere!
Water holds a lot more heat than air (which is why you can put your hand in a 200F oven but not in 200F water) so it melts the snow much faster than air at ambient temperature.
Yes, thanks. Affected by humidity, as mentioned previously, and wind, which can carry the humid air away.
Sublimation should affect melt rate, since it carries heat away.
Put two ice cubes in your sink. Run tap water over one and see which melts faster.
Last year, the biggest snow piles in Boston lasted until July!
