Low coolant, inoperative radiator fans, stuck thermostat, failed water pump, restricted radiator, head/headgasket.
As long as it is your stretch marks itching you are ok but anyone itching without stretch marks should see their doctor as it can be a sign of something serious.
Radiator hoses are made of rubber and over time these units fail due to the environment. When they fail the rubber can get dry rotted which will cause the lines to flatten and crack.
Lack of coolant, lack of coolant flow, air in cooling system, lack of airflow over radiator,........
The ice under will melt because black is a good absorber and a poor radiator.
