1. Fact 2. Crap (OG is correct. New snow reflects the sun and dirty snow absorbs more of the sun's heat. Like a dark shirt is warmer in the sun than a white shirt.)

Kep, dirty snow is part dirt and snow. dirt doesn't melt, but will melt the snow on contact. We can do two different experiments. 1) pound for pound of dirty snow and pure snow. The dirty snow will melt faster. 2) pound for pound of white snow, add dirt to one sample, the dirt will displace the snow. It has nothing to do with heat, but basic physics as two different matters cannot be in the same place at the same time. snow melts at the same rate whatever the temp, just one sample has different matter added to it.

Oh, I just re-read the question!! I need to change mind to CRAP! Snow melts at the same degree, dirt doesn't melt.

I would think when we see the dirty snow left, what we are seeing is the leftover piles from shoveling and plowing. I'd bet if we had pristine, untouched snow, and threw a thin layer of dirt over a portion, that would melt faster than the snow without the dirt.

Ophilia, it will melt faster, not because of heat, but because of weight. The molecular structure of dirt is heavier than snow.

I couldn't believe that Dogdoc got the correct answers so quick! Good for you!! 1. It's FACT more than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call. 2. It's CRAP ... dirty snow does melt faster than clean. I don't understand why but it is true.

Let's try again ... Fact or Crap? 1. Some scenes of woodland creatures and the fire in Bambi are actual footage from Peter and the Wolf. 2. Marc Anthony provided the voice of Hercules in the Spanish language version of this Disney film. Good Luck!

1. fact - - but, I have no idea as it was a hundred years ago (well maybe half a century) since the last time I watched Bambi! 2. crap - - again, I don't watch many Spanish movies but have no idea if Marc Anthony speaks Spanish or even Greek!
