Very cold air can't hold a lot of moisture- it is very difficult to find freezing and humid environments. (The excess moisture that is present actually gets deposited as frost.)
Warm air can hold more moisture (think of humid summer days)
So when warmer air -holding more moisture- moves into cooler areas, the water molecules turn into snow!
So to sum up- it gets warmer when it snows because the snowfall is a result of the current cold dry air you are feeling -being hit by a warm puff of moisture- lowering the temperature and causing snow!

∙ 13y agoYes for a couple of reasons. First, it requires energy to melt the snow that cannot go into heating the surface until the snow is ground. Afterwards, all the sun's energy contributes to heating. Second, snow reflects more sunlight than almost any other surface in the world basically because it's white. When it melts it reveals a darker surface, which absorbs more radiation and therefore heats up more.

What does salt do to ice and snow?
melts the ice
What temperature does water becomes snow?
Snow is ice. Little ice crystals. If it melts and refreezes it can become solid ice. Or if it forms big masses of snow then the pressure will fuse the snow crystals into solid ice.
Can snow cause erosion?
Yes! When snow melts the resulting water can erode things.
What causes well water to be cooler?
I would assume it has to do with being out of the sun, seeing that if snow is in the sun it melts quicker, so if water is in the sun it'll be warmer than water in a well.
How does the sun affect snow?
it melts it
Why does snow melt when the sun is there?
Because the heat from the sun melts the snow that needs cold like a freezer
When suns energy is on snow what happens?
The sun rays reflect off the snow making it bright and the sun also melts the snow.
What melts hard snow?
A heat source, usually the sun.
How does the sun cause precipitation?
The sun melts snow and evaporates rain and water to create more precipitation.
What is currently happening to the Himalayas?
Due to climate change most high mountains now have less snow on them than many years ago. The warmer climate melts the snow away.
What are 5 things that happen in spring?
Lambs and other animals are born New flowers come out snow melts days get longer get warmer weather
What is snow on the mountains snow that never melts?
It is snow like we have.Except it never melts because it is alwayd cold there.
What is colder snow or ice?
Ice because I know that snow melts ice.And why does snow melts ice???
Why has the warmer temperature increased the chance of an avalanche?
Because snow melts and then it has a better chance of sliding downward if it is wet and will flow verses being thick and unmovable.
What does snow do that rhymes with pelts?
Melts.
