Ashley from Polkton asks: How can the snow melt with temperatures near 25 degrees?

The snow that we had yesterday was very fluffy and light and did not have a lot of water content. Basically if you melt what snow we had, you wouldn't get much water. Therefore when the sun was up, the energy from the sun was able to melt the snow quite easily. Objects like water and snow react to temperatures much more quickly than the air does. Therefore ice and snow can melt in the sunlight even with temperatures well below freezing.
