Not to be anti-conspiracy theory (which i'm not) but... my guess is carbon gets deposited there from an flame that is not burning all of its fuel (think about when you light a candle in a jar and there is black suit where the flame touched the glass... the glass isn't burning, carbon is being deposited) Also, snow has a lot of air in it, and air is an excellent insulator. Eskimos build igloos and put fires inside and the igloos don't melt. If you've seen the video where the guy lights his propane-fueled campfire, the snow didn't turn black because propane burns very clean (no carbon left to deposit). Butane does not burn as clean. Just my $0.02...
This was my thought as well. When you hold something to the orange tip of a flame it’s spitting black carbon
Spoons don’t burn either but if you hold the tip of a flame to a spoon it turns black as well
"My dad says butane's a bastard gas" - Bobby Hill But yes, this is the case. When you hold the butane flame near the snowball and look closely, you can watch the portion exposed to the flame melt and nearly instantly get pulled into the snowball like a sponge pulls in water. Very similar structure to a sponge when packed loosely by hands. I saw the video and had to try it myself after getting weirded out.
