guys are you serious?

its nothing to do with the fact stones shadow the ground. Snow melts on flat slabs too, the stones are warmer than the snow, so melt it.

specific heat capacity, as already been stated

(they take longer to lose or gain heat if you didn't know what specific heat capacity was)

the colour makes a difference as well, which if you have done GCSE science you should understand about reflecting or absorbing heat

Ah yes - the albedo effect, hence why polar ice caps are very good at reflecting away solar energy before it has a chance to heat the ice and melt it.
