2. Snow removal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_removal

   This system combines the mechanical action of the water to remove the snow and the > zero temperature of the water to melt the snow. This system can only be used where ground temperatures do not regularly drop below zero, otherwise sheet ice formation could result (although a continuous water flow would act as an impediment to this).

A snowmelt system prevents the build-up of snow and ice on cycleways, walkways, patios and roadways, or more economically, only a portion of the area such as a pair of 2-foot (0.61 m)-wide tire tracks on a driveway or a 3-foot (0.91 m) center portion of a sidewalk, etc.

4. Snowmelt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowmelt

   As snow in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota begins to melt and flow into the Red River, the presence of downstream ice can act as a dam and force upstream water to rise. Colder temperatures downstream can also potentially lead to freezing of water as it flows north, thus augmenting the ice dam problem.

   “A vast majority of that water that was stored up in the Sierra as snow is still there. It has not melted yet.” California’s ‘big melt’ of snow is about to kick into high gear.

6. Subnivean climate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnivean_climate

   Melt metamorphism is the deterioration of snow by melting. Melting can be stimulated by warmer ambient temperatures, rain, and fog. As snow melts, water is formed and the force of gravity pulls these molecules downward. En route to the ground, they refreeze, thickening in the middle stratum.
