You're thinking of sublimation, which is somewhat different. Evaporation would be liquid to a gas, which is impossible in the case of snow (a solid). Sublimated is when snow moves from the solid phase directly to the gaseous phase, water vapor.

Which two months snow would most likely stay on the ground without melting?
This would vary in different parts of the world, but in the United States, January and February are the months snow is most likely to stay on the ground without melting.
During an ice age earths sea level?
During a glaciation earth's sea level drops, because of the water evaporating from the oceans falling as snow on the land and not melting for thousands of years.
Why does salt keep snow from turning to ice?
Rock salt or regular sodium chloride loses its effectiveness for melting ice at about 5 degrees below zero F. This occurs because the freezing is more rapid than the melting ability. It is still melting but it cannot keep up with refreezing.
What is water formed by melting snow and ice?
Meltwater
Which is an unlikely source of water for a river basin?
Melting snow
Is melting snow a physical change or chemical change?
Snow disappearing is a physical change. It is a combination of melting and then evaporating and of sublimation.
What are three examples of physical change in an environment?
Leaves falling off a tree. Water evaporating.
When snow seems to disappear without actually melting what do you think happened?
Sublimation happens.

Can snow contain salt near an ocean?
By definition no. Snow is frozen water. Percipitation is formed by water evaporating and going into the atmosphere, then if it is cold enough (ie. 0 C) then it will snow. During the evaporation process the salt is left behind if it was ever in the water.

How does Snow die?
by melting.
What when applied to snow or ice lowers the melting point of the mixture?
Salt lowers the melting point of snow and ice.
What are snow fed rivers?
The water coming from melting of snow
How might melting snow contribute to flooding?
The water from the melting snow can add on to a river or stream and it can over flow, that will cause the flooding.
How do you use the word melting in a sentence?
Melting the chocolate chips was harder than she thought. The snow is melting.
