I would try that with some of our snow in NW Arkansas a couple of weeks ago, but it has all melted.

"What does your Common Sense tell you?" That Snow when it melts isn't supposed to smell like burnt plastic.
I got the same smell by using a match and a lighter and doing it on different samples of snow in different rooms.
Same results.
Black snow and a smell like burnt plastic or petroleum.

“Black snow and a smell like burnt plastic or petroleum.”
Smells like burning plastic because it is.
Snow is water and melts.
Why do you say this is snow?

The snow turns to liquid water and boils off as steam, which is invisible.
The black residue is the incomplete combustion of the butane in the lighter.
OR
The white material isn’t snow.

"Why do you say this is snow?" Well when I was a very small little boy my Mom and Dad taught me that the white stuff that falls to the ground in the winter time is snow.
I went outside and got some and tried it and it worked the same as in the videos I've shown you.

"So you actually tried it and had the same results?" Yes...
Both using a match And a lighter.
I was thinking the smell come from the lighter but then I used a match on a different bit of snow and even went into a different room it didn't turn as black but still smelled like burnt plastic or petroleum...

It takes a thousand BTUs to melt create steam from water. Even more from snow...
Whereas a butane flame (yellow) contains a lot of carbon. and will turn to a black residue black when directed at something cold.
Put some distilled water in your freezer and freeze it, and the same thing will happen with a butane flame...

"Put some distilled water in your freezer and freeze it, and the same thing will happen with a butane flame..." OK that sounds very right science wise. Does this cover the burnt plastic smell as well? I've used both a lighter and a match. and I get the same smell when it melts. and it is rank!
