Subject: Melting ice below 32 degrees F.

The other day I noticed that the ice and snow was melting on both the sidewalks and streets. The sky was clear but our daily high was only 9 degrees F.

I can understand the ice melting on the streets because of all of the chemicals used. But what I don't understand is why doesn't the ice and snow seem to melt on days when the skies are overcast? On these days everything is solid ice.
