its salt......seriously..thats all it is...
No, pure snow does not contain salt. However, it can pick up salt or other substances from the environment as it falls or melts, especially in urban areas where salt is used to de-ice roads.
Salt just lowers the freezing point of water. It makes it so it has to be colder for snow to stick. It will not melt snow that is already there. In fact it will just make it harder.
Deicer salt is effective at melting snow because it lowers the freezing point of water, causing the snow and ice to turn into liquid water. This occurs through a process called freezing point depression. Therefore, when deicer salt is applied to snow or ice, it helps to break the bond between the ice and the pavement, allowing for easier removal.
Usually salt.
The stuff you buy for that purpose is just plain, ordinary salt.
No, snow does not naturally contain salt. Salt is typically added to snow by humans for de-icing purposes on roads and sidewalks.

no the salt only makes the snow melt faster
KaBlamo!
If you sprinkle a large amount of salt over snow/ice it will cause it to melt and keeps it from refreezing. If the snow is extremely thick you may have to lay down several layers of salt.

Some types of salt melts the snow
Sand is not used to melt snow, it is just used to increase friction, so the snow is not as slippery. Salt is used to melt snow, not sand. And salt works quite rapidly (but the actual speed will depend upon the ambient temperature).
yes it is
no
Crystals!
You can salt your yard.
