Technically, the sun. Light is just a result of rays cast from the electromagnetic spectrum of hydrogen. The sun, does not give off light. Rather, it gives off heat. Heat from the sun causes ice to melt.

Beacause it is the place that is most exposed to the sun :-)
Why does snow melt at below freezing temperatures?
This is due too electromagnetic wave mainly UV waves from the sun hit the top layer of the snow which causes the molecules too move rapidly causing a energy transformation to thermal energy. even on a cloudy day UV rays still can penetrate the atmosphere.
Why is the sun so close to earth during winter?
because it can melt the snow out or make it sunny
Can snow be evaporated as snow?
Yes, when snow evaporates it is called sublimation. Sublimation can occur on days with lots of sun and low humidity. The snow, does NOT melt. The snow evaporates.
Will the sun melt most of the snow in Pittsburgh?
It would take a very long time (a few weeks, in this part of February) to melt what I assume is about a foot of snow, unless the temperature goes above freezing or it rains.
Why is snow in shade softer than snow in sun?
Snow in the shade potentially hasn't melted or metamorphized yet, if temperatures are below freezing. In the sun, the additional heat from radiation will be enough to melt the snow on the surface, which then refreezes because the temperature is below freezing.
What are some Anglo saxon riddles?
I appear on the ground like a blanket, and melt in the midday sun. Answer: Snow
