The amount of moisture in the air can accelerate the melting process, while wind will carry away the moisture and preserve the snow pack.
The most obvious is temperature. How cold does it have to be for snowfall to stick to the ground? It is safe to say that snow will stick to the ground when the air temperature is 32 degrees or lower, but other factors such as the state of the ground and intensity of the snowfall come into play when temperatures are in the middle or upper 30s.
Even if the air temperature remains the same, light from the sun heats up the snow, melting it at a much faster rate than if it was only warming up due to conduction from the air, which is not a good conductor of heat. So the bright nights, at the most basic level, are the result of snow flakes keeping the reflected light in the atmosphere. It melts because of the warm air from the sea. But when the sunlight penetrates a thick layer of ice before it can be absorbed, it cannot raise the temperature of the ice to melting point quickly enough.
