If I understand right I think ice actually melts faster than snow! I could be mistaken but I think I learned that somewhere along the way...

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

MODERATORS
In favor of snow melting faster: a) Greater surface area per mole for evaporation, b) Greater porosity per mole for water seepage to transfer heat to interior of snow.
In favor of ice melting faster: a) Radiant energy can penetrate the clear surface of ice directly to the interior.
I'd guess ice will melt faster on a sunny day, while snow will melt faster on a cloudy day, if (a) ambient air and ground temperatures are the same on both days, (b) relative humidity is the same on both days.
After reading that that source, sounds like a complicated question.
For some reason that link isn't working for me. Thank you for sharing though :)
I fixed it, should work now.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
