No the molecules still weigh the same. With water the volume will increase, that's why ice floats. Most other substances decrease as they freeze.

Law wise, no, it cannot gain any matter, therefore any mass. Density in almost every case goes up, as well as volume going down (water being the notable exception to both). Now real world, often in the process of freezing something, it may obtain extra molecules from the environment, depending on the temperature needed, free gasses, water vapor etc may increase its measured weight.

Lol, no, snow melting isn't a nuclear reaction so the mass it really is there continues to be consistent (sans evaporation). What does take position is the ice melts from a crystalline structure right into a granular structure. What which ability is it really is a lot extra dense (extra mass in line with volume), so actually a shovel finished will be heavier.

No because:
W=m.g
during freezing , the volume may change and because the weight doesn't depend on volume , the weight doesn't change .
the weight depends on objects mass .

no. according to the law of conservation of mass. but it's density may change when it is froze... not because the its mass changed but it's volume does.
