No. As it melts, it will saturate the layer below it, so that layer of snow will be heavier but there will be the same amount of water-equivalent on the limbs. And some of the water will likely drip off the branches anyway.
In other words, the most weight that will be on tree limbs is right after the snow stops falling.

∙ 13y agoWhen ice melts the weight of the water is exactly the same as the weight of the ice that melted. However the volume of the water is less than the original volume of ice because ice is less dense than water (which is why ice floats on water).
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes, snow gets heavier when it changes to ice.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes it is
ice is a lot or dense than snow,
so it weighs more when compared in an exact same space
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoyes, it does because matter can neither be created of destroyed
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoAs ice turns to water it becomes heavier. That why ice floats.

Does the volume of ice changes when ice melts?
Yes the volume of ice changes when the ice melts. In fact the volume of ice goes on increasing up to 0 degree Celsius and when the ice melts completely the volume of ice decreases on the contrary. Yes because when ice freezes, it expands and when it melts, it gets smaller.
