For what’s it’s worth, a warmed up vehicle will usually be warm and melt fresh snow. But if there’s an inch of snow, it’s just gonna melt the bottom into ice and restick to the hood. Snow is a fantastic insulator, so it doesn’t take much for it to protect the rest.
My car will literally boil rain on the hood in slower traffic lol
