Answer: Snow, which is a frozen (solid) form of water, melts when it gets warmer than 32º F. When the Sun shines and warms the Earth, snow begins to melt and turn into runoff. Runoff can seep into the ground, where it's used to help plants grow. Névé is young, granular snow that has been partially melted, refrozen and compacted; névé that survives a full melt season is called firn. This type of snow is associated with glacier formation. Sublimation happens best on sunny days where the sun creates enough energy to allow the solid water to turn to a gas… skipping the melting phase. Snow can also sublimate with strong enough wind… this evaporates the snow before it has a chance to melt.
