Weird snow won't melt even after it's way over 32 degrees. I have seen it snow here almost every winter. The snow would insta melt once it met pool water that wasn't frozen. But at 35 degrees this snow just turned my pool into a slushy. Refuses to melt during the day when it's over 32 degrees too.
I noticed the same thing this year and once last year too. I took some video of myself squeezing a handful of it for a minute and it did not melt. I've played in the snow nearly annually for over four decades and never experienced anything like this. Spouse and I were talking about the weird ass sound of the precipitation coming down during the most recent snow. Too loud of a sound (this has happened twice this year). Then when I took the kids out to play in it the next day the first thing my teen said was "feels like fake snow" b/c it did feel fake. Like almost plasticy? We used to eat snow all the time growing up and I won't let my kids even taste it now.
Been living here for 13 years. When snow hits water. It instantly dissolves. Now when it gets below 20 and the water freezes. The snow will accumulate on the surface. However it's like 35 degrees. And the snow is sitting in the pool like a slushy. Not to mention i have a heated pool. It's not heated at the moment but it was a few days ago.
FYI: it takes a lot of energy to phase change, so the slush is slowly melting but as it does it pulls the energy out of the water, cooling it significantly (locally). If you are worried about it, run some pumps to agitate the water.

Bruh. It snows here every year. I know how it works. It's not melting. I took pics of it and it's make white dots on the pics. Like it would in a radioctive environment.
