Why does dirty snow melt faster than white snow?

This is due to the principle of albedo. Snow is among the brightest natural surfaces on earth, and therefore reflects most incoming solar radiation. If the radiation is reflected, it cannot be absorbed by the surface and converted to thermal energy (heat) to raise the temperature. When you add any type of dirt and impurities to the snow, you are lowering the albedo of the snow, causing the surface to absorb more radiation and heat up. This causes the snow to melt faster.Interestingly, if the snow is covered by more than about a centimeter of dirt, it will be insulated from the sun and melt more slowly.
