squeeze snow

Question

We are able to squeeze snow and make balls out of it because of i) anomalous nature of water ii) large latent heat of ice iii) large specific heat of water iv) low melting point of ice

Dear sood,

The answer is because of the large latent heat of ice.The temperature difference provided by our hands is not enough to melt the ice because of the large latent heat of ice.
