If you’re in a place where you have never noticed the interesting (well, to me) ways that snow melts perhaps you consider yourself lucky.
The other night I got home about an hour after my roommate had and noticed the hood of his car. We had a fairly hard snow coming down at that point and as it landed on his recently driven car it melted unevenly, more or less an inverse representation of the reinforcement of the hood. You can clearly see where the crossbeams are and how they blocked more of the radiant heat from his hot engine as it cooled and the snow landed.
