It doesn't burn... that is the soot from the flame, the reason why "it doesn't melt" is because, given the very limited heat source from a small flame, anything that does melt gets quickly absorbed by the rest of the flakes, snow is a surprisingly good insulator, so the "core" of the snowball barely gets affected, hence why it absorbs anything that does melt from the outer layers.
Grab some, put it on a pan or something, and then put it in a stove top for a few mins, I guarantee you it will melt then
I wish people would think a bit before jumping to conclusions, saw a bunch of posts about this on GAB... people thinking there are some giant fake snow generator somewhere..
Really? I wish ppl would just give a response without some kind of lecture on why or why not someone should post something. I posted it bc I have a fren in Texas and although I understand you’re saying, this isn’t normal. Just trying to help my fren get some answers and there’s nothing wrong with that.

It was not directed at you, I was talking about people jumping to conclusions, not posting :)
Like in my example, where people immediately think there are giant fake snow generators somewhere and weather control.
Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.
