late snow in April in places like NY melt faster because the angle of the sun more direct that in January. Implications for Maunakeas
The ground is also frozen in January in places like NY, sometimes several feet into the earth. Soil is relatively warm in April, which allows the snow on top to melt from top and bottom. Not sure how this can compare to snow on Mauna Kea in any way.
