Ice and snow are highly reflective; when sunlight hits them, most of it bounces off. Ashes are dark and absorb sunlight (and other radiant energy) and capture sunlight and cause the warm ashes to melt the ice and snow beneath them.

Why does ice melt slower in wood?

Ice melts slower in wood because wood is an insulator, meaning it does not conduct heat as effectively as materials like metal or stone. The insulating properties of wood limit the transfer of warmth from the surrounding environment to the ice, causing it to melt at a slower rate. Additionally, the porous structure of wood can trap air, further reducing heat transfer and slowing the melting process.
