The answer depends on if you are adding heat and how fast you are adding heat if you are, in fact, adding heat.

At 32o F ice will change from solid to liquid, OR FROM A LIQUID TO A SOLID, without changing temperature. You must either add (melt), or remove (freeze), the latent heat of fusion. The addition, or removal, of the latent heat of fusion only changes the state of the water, IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE.

At 40 degrees Fahrenheit snow would not melt very fast. It depends heavily on accumulation as well. The larger the amount, the slower it will melt, as opposed to thin layers of snow will melt quicker.

It can snow at 40°. Accumulation all depends on the rate that snow is falling. At 40° Fahrenheit it needs to be snowing pretty hard for snow to accumulate faster than it melts.
