The tumbleweed dispersal strategies are unusual among plants; most species disperse their seeds by other mechanisms. Many tumbleweeds (though by no means all) are ruderal species, opportunistic agricultural weeds. Tumbleweeds have been recorded in the following plant families:
The most obvious is temperature. If the air temperature is above 32Â°F snow and ice will start to melt, at or below 32Â° and it will remain frozen. Think about a popsicleâ¦ inside the freezer it stays frozen, outside it starts to melt. The amount of sunshine plays a big factor.
If we ignore all ifs & buts, then the exact temperature for melting of snow/ice is 0.01 degree C or 32.02 degree F. While answering this, we should also remember that water has a triple point at this temperature, i.e., it can exist in all the three forms - solid, liquid and gas.
