Salt does not alter the temperature of the snow, but gets into the structure of the ice crystals, causing the water (ice remember is frozen water and snow is ice) to have a lower freezing point and so, it is used to melt ice and snow in the winter months.

Do ice cubes melt faster when salt is added?
yes they do melt faster like you know in the winter how you put salt out in the snow and it melts the snow,well that proves it
What would be the reason to buy a salt spreader?
A salt spreader would be a sound purchase in areas where snow and ice accumulate during the winter months. A salt spreader can effectively distribute salt to melt ice and snow so that roads and surfaces become easier to navigate.
Is snow really melted by the salt you put on the roads in the winter?
Yes! Unless it is too cold for the salt to work.
Is there snow on Mount Wellington?

How does salt crystals effect snow during winter?
It lowers the freezing point temperature and raises the the boiling point temperature.

What will be the reaction if you put table salt in ice or snow?
The salt will cause the snow and ice to melt, which it does whenever I sprinkle salt on to my front path during winter, here, in the UK. For more info. search Google with your question and have a look through the websites on the subject.
When do you apply rock salt to roadways?
During the cold days of winter, to decrease the the freezing point of water and avoid ice and snow on the roads.
When did they start naming winter snow storms?
during the first winter
When does snow happen?
It happens during winter
Why doesn't it snow during the summer nor doesn't it rain during the middle of the winter?
