[Geysers] Non-geyser query

[Frederick Kallien]

One possibility.............snow is generally not as deep under the tree canopy because some of the snow is intercepted by the branches.  With the snow not as deep it will appear to melt away more quickly.

  In looking at the Webcam of OFG this morning, I was reminded of a 
  question some of you may be able to answer.

  What causes the snow to melt around the base of a tree before the 
  surrounding snow melts? Maybe this is something we can explore during 
  this low season.
