How it's used
Refers specifically to the physical process of ice or snow turning into liquid. While technically accurate, it is rarely used in daily Hong Kong life due to the subtropical climate where snow is virtually non-existent. It is more common to hear 溶 for general melting of ice cubes or frozen items.

Common mistake
Do not confuse 雪融 with 溶. While 雪融 is specific to snow, 溶 is the general verb for any solid turning into liquid, including ice cubes or even metal.
