where does the white go when snow melts?

snow isn't really white its just the amount of light that is bounced back so when it melt it changes states of matter and becomes a liquid which bounces back light differently

I was told that it was becuase of the mountains.The ice or snow of mountains would melt into water,forming small rivers that turn into more and more bigger rivers{or something like that} that turn into oceans."Where does the snow of a mountain or ice of a mountain come from?",you might ask.That I dont know.

Temps close to the freezing point. If you have noticed often when rain is changing to snow quickly,the flakes at times are huge!

The warm air pushes over the denser cold air and itself cools  - hence the snow. As the cold air gets replaced by the warmer air, we experience  the rain.

Snow is frozen water that floats\n\nHail is tiny pieces of ice that get caught in an updraft repeatedly such that they freeze when they reach the higher atmosphere. Eventually, the tiny piece of ice gets so big that the ice is heavier than the updraft can handle and it falls. Therefore, if a storm has very strong updrafts, you can get grapefruit sized hail or small updrafts, golfball or smaller.

Snow is crystalized water and ice is frozen water.

Blue is the color that reflects off snow in early evening and before dawn. Its a comfort thing. People want that color reflecting off their homes to let their visitors know they are welcome.

It all depends upon the layers of temparature in the atmosphere.  If an upper layer where the precipitation originates is below freezing then it can snow even if it is above freezing at ground level.  Reverse those temperatures and you get freezing rain.

White!  Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

Powder is great, and it´s bad when there´s ice! But it´s also good, when the snow is almost melting. But then yah should not fall...

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.

Well snow is white because it is a frozen sliver of moisture.We christians accept white as a sign of purity.Interestingly if you watch snow falling,no two particles ever collide(till they reach the ground)If you stand underneath falling snow and look directly up,the falling snow won't look white(try it)

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

sud is composed of very tiny bubbles of soap, which diffract light in all different directions, the light rays interfere and give rise to all colours, which produces white light. for the same reason snow is white, not by tiny bubbles, but by tiny crystals.

It is the very complicated surface of the snowflakes.  Ice and water may be clear, but some light is reflected, and some gets transmitted.  In the case of snow flakes, which are ice cristals, there is so much surface to reflect off, and light transmitted leaving off the back will strike the next snowflake behind (or the next bit of the same snowflake, deeper in) and eventually reflect back.  Since the shape is so weird, no coherent reflection can be seen, hence no good mirrored surface.  But the light will come back looking the same color as going in, hence white.

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.

white:color of snow;blue:color of arctic oceans water and red :is color of communism.
