spring and summer is the principal melting energy source. Most operational procedures for snow melt prediction rely on ambient air temperature as the index of the energy available for melt. The temperature index is usually used to characterize the level of the energy balance because it is superior to other simple methods for the full energy balance at the snow surface. As long as snow remains bright‚ the sunshine bounces off and is not retained to cause any melting. Two factors other than sunshine
