Snowball is porous, so it suck melted water well. Soot is appeared when flame meets with cold show, flame just don't have time to burn completely, before it become too cold for burning.
You could repeat it with knowingly clean show from fridge. Flame should touch the snow to leave soot.
Bloody hell, think yourself, be curious, check everything, study how things work.
PS: Pouring snowball with liquid LPG at -30C (-22F) and firing it is much more entertaining.
Because a little amount of highly stinky mercaptan is added to LPG used in lighters (and other home applications). If you don't allow LPG to burn fully, you will smell an odor of mercaptan or its combustion products. That is the purpose of mercaptan in LPG - to alert about possible leaks or partial burning, since LPG (or "natural gas" in your stove) istelf is odorless. When you listen about "smell of gas in home" - it is not gas itself, you smell mercaptan addition.
Just sniff a gas from unlighted lighter, you will feel that smell.
Hope it's not a revelation for you and you just forgot about mercaptan in LPG.
PS: I have enormous amount of snow here, and every year I dream about sending all of it to somebody who tell that he have no snow, but I afraid it will not survive the delivery. :)
I have a family history with why mercaptan in added to Natural gas ASAP. My great uncle was superintendent of the New London School in 1937 when the school exploded after field gas (unodorized) collected under the new school. He and his two brothers lost children in that explosion.

Why, then, would it “smell like burning plastic,” as the lady stated? I’d try it myself, but we don’t have any snow where I live
Because she has an agenda?
Potentially, but I recall seeing videos like this maybe 4 years ago, where other people claimed the same thing

It was the story that brought Walter Cronkite to the attention of the big shots.
When I was young, they tried using silver iodide crystals.
They must be putting the same preservatives in snow that they put in ice cream that doesn’t melt.
This is hilariously retarded.
