Fresh, clean snow reflects about 80% of the incoming solar radiation thus it melts much slower than old and dirty snow that absorbs more solar energy. At the same air temperature, snow melts faster in windy conditions than under calm conditions. Obviously, snow will melt faster when the air warms up.

Probably clean snow, because it's only water which will melt faster. The sedements in the dirty snow could keep it all packed in longer.

dirty snow because the dirt absorbs more sunlight and the clean snow reflects it.

I would say dirty snow because it probably contains salts which lower the freezing point.
