Yes. Ice conducts heat poorly, snow even more so - snow is a great insulator. one of the best!

Ice has a high specific heat too (it takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of ice).

Does ice melt faster on metal or plastic?

Ice melts faster on metal because metal is a good conductor of heat, allowing heat energy to transfer quickly to the ice. Plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so it retains heat better and slows down the melting process of ice.

Do poor heat conductors of heat conduct heat?

no...i think it's not entirely no. if it's a poor heat conductor then its heat conduction process decreases compared to a good heat conductor.
