Here is a different spin on an answer to your question.
I watched a TV cooking show once where the chef put a dab of shortening on his arm just above the wrist at the beginning of his show. He cooked with butter and oil during his preparation. At the end of his show, he had the camera zoom in on the shortening just above his wrist. It was still there in the same condition it was when he first put it on. He said the shortening was up against a 98.6 body temperature and it didn't melt. Imagine what it does INSIDE your body - it won't melt there either.
Butter melts, which is what you want for cooking, and to process inside your body. If you hold butter in your hand, it will do the same thing - melt.
My mother lives in southern California and always leaves her buter on the counter. It will melt a little (yes they do keep their house warm), but they use every drop anyway. My mother is also one of those mothers who used to have a gas stove with a pilot light that heated the top center of the range. She would keep her can of bacon grease (with it's mesh screen to remove the particles) on the stove in that warm spot. She would scoop out the bacon grease to make Raw Fries (fried potatoes and onions), and whatever else she wanted to make.
She has a "new" gas stove now that doesn't have a continuous pilot light so her can is gone. Plus, times have changed so she generally doesn't use bacon grease anymore. But, once in awhile, she'll use it for her Raw Fries. That bacon grease also melts when it comes in contact with the body.

Well, see, I understand if you live in a really cold place, how odd this seems, but yes, butter actually melts. I don't think it happens that fast, though (unless you put it on or near something hot), so, unless you live in a really hot place, the butter should just stay soft and spreadable.

I always keep my butter on the counter and this has never happened to me - especially not at this time of year!!
Did you leave it:
Near the hob after cooking or
In direct sunlight?
If you didn't, then you should have a look at your heating thermostat, it's crazy to have a house that hot so close to winter.

u must live in a really, really hot house. I should go soft at room temperature, but that's it. Some people keep butter in the cupboard not the fridge so that it's easier to use and spread.

I don't know if I'd call that melting...more like decomposing.
