Where does the wight go when the snow melts?

You mean white, right? Snow reflects light and light's prism makes white, so when the snowflakes change shape into water, they no longer reflect or refract.

It becomes water and either drains away or soaks into the ground.  Or do you mean, 'why is snow white and why doesn't it stay white when it melts?'\n\nThe answer lies in snow's messy construction. A beam of white sunlight entering a snow bank is so quickly scattered by a zillion ice crystals and air pockets that most of it comes zinging right back out of the snow bank. No one wavelength is preferentially absorbed or reflected, so snow is essentially the color of the sunlight reflecting off it -- white. \n\nBut all snow is not so snow-white. \n\nOccasionally, walking across white snow, you'll see color flashes, like sparkles from a diamond. In this case, a cold, dry night has probably squeezed the last moisture out of the air and onto the top layer of snowflakes, where it has crystallized in a faceted pattern similar to ... a diamond. These little torture chambers bend and split light into its rainbow of wavelengths the way a prism does.

Water gives up far more (latent) heat when cooled than soil does.  Therefore the ground around the puddle may drop to well below freezing before the water in the puddle cools and freezes solid.  This could cause the puddle to freeze at the edges first then work inward toward the middle although a thin skim of ice may cover the entire puddle.  As the freezing water advances toward the center of the puddle it pushes any excess air before it and air can collect in the middle from all sides.  This can form a hollow cavity.  Incidently, ice can freeze in large grains and since a mixture of minerals and water freezes at a lower temperature than pure water, minerals are left at the boundaries of the grains.  Later when the ice melts, the boundaries melt first and can produce weak "rotten" ice that easily breaks through when walked on.  In short, an advancing wall of freezing water or a freezing crystal can exclude foreign matter.

Exactly at the north pole.  The wind may not blow always, but when it would, it would always be out of the south.

You wouldn't. It would melt as it neared the center of the Earth. Assuming you are asking the hypothetical question, it would go to the middle of the earth and stay there...that is where gravity pulls from.

The temp has to be 32 F. or below for it to snow. Look at the weather to find out the chances of it snowing.

It depends on what you mean by "does it get warm?". See below.\n\nIt can snow even at incredibly cold temperatures as long as there is some source of moisture and some way to lift or cool the air. It is true, however, that most heavy snowfalls occur with relatively warm air temperatures near the ground - typically 15 F or warmer since air can hold more water vapor at warmer temperatures.\n \nWhen is it too warm to snow?  How does snow form if the ground temperature is above freezing?  Snow forms when the atmospheric temperature is at or below freezing (0 C or 32 F) and there is a minimum amount of moisture in the air. If the ground temperature is at or below freezing, of course the snow will reach the ground.\n\nHowever, the snow can still reach the ground when the ground temperature is above freezing if the conditions are just right. In this case, snowflakes will begin to melt as they reach this warmer temperature layer; the melting creates evaporative cooling which cools the air immediately around the snow flake.This cooling retards melting. As a general rule, though, snow will not form if the ground temperature is 5 C (41 F).

it breaks up their pattern in a semi melted snow covered field.  the ground is either white, black (wet soil) or grey.

Ice will form on a surface that has water on it, if the surface is below freezing, or technically, can extract enough heat from the water to allow the water to fall to below freezing temperature.\n\nThis happens a lot when it has snowed, then there is a sunny or warm day, melting the snow to water because the ground temperature warms to above freezing.\n\nThen, at night, the ground will maintain the above freezing temperature for a while, but slowly cool off.\n\nA bridge has less 'mass' to maintain the warmer, higher, temperature, plus the air flowing above and below the bridge will cool the bridge faster, so it cools to below freezing faster. This causes bridges to frequently form ice more quickly than ground surfaces.\n\nUnder the right circumstances, the ice will form on the road as well. Just ask a busy auto body shop in winter.

Outward from the source at first.  As it becomes larger, it moves in the same direction as the wind is blowing.  Fires also move more readily up a slope than they do down a slope.

I think it would be about 1/3 of theearth gets snow.

The ice melts as it is applied to the cloth and becomes water.  A process called osmosis then comes into play--the cells absorb the water until they burst, because the diffusion only goes INTO the cells; the water cannot otherwise escape.

They would point away from the wind.  It would freeze solid before hitting the ground.  The waste product could then be broken off and disposed of in the nearest trash can.

Snow plough drivers own the plough. So ofcourse they just step outside and start with their own driveway, and take it from there.

They take a break in winter.Some kind of hibernates,by going into the larval stage(this,I saw in discovery channel),while others gather at a tree and try to survive in the cold by staying close together for warmth(this I got from  http://www.abc.net.au/science/scribblygum/July2000/default.htm  )

The North Pole is on frozen water, but this is soooo frozen, it can be traversed as with land provided the vehicles are equipped for snow/ice treading.

Water vapor that has frozen.\nTidbit: Snow doesn't melt - it vaporizes, turning back into vapor as it heats up.
