Snow is stable at its transition temperature. Below that, it varies with the ambient temperature. Snow temperatures in Greenland are often near -40 degrees. It is much like water. At the boiling point, the water temperature is fairly stable. Below the boiling point, the temperature of water follows the ambient.
I thought about using ice at one time, but a simple experiment set me straight.
