Winter is a weather reality for most of us who live in North America. While the extremes and severity of said weather vary‚ depending on the latitudinal coordinate where you reside‚ it amazes me how much more people complain these days about the cold‚ snow and even road conditions.

It’s almost as if the entire town slows down for the day‚ taking pleasure in the freshly fallen

Why does snow melt in the sun at temperatures below freezing? The rate of snow melt is dependent on energy availability‚ which is mostly in the form of radiation. Cold snowpacks have a negative energy balance‚ but warming causes the snowpack to become isothermal and additional energy results in positive energy balance and melt. Daily snow melt in forested areas is considerably less than melt in open areas‚ as forests protect the snow cover from solar radiation and wind. Canopy warming can increase
