    Yes, while the radiation puts more energy in than the convective etc. cooling removes. So near 0 this is guaranteed, since the temperature difference from ice to ambient is almost 0 while radiation keeps pumping in something like 0.5 W. But who eats ice at freezing temperatures… And outside?

      I have eaten ice cream outside when temperatures were sub-zero Fahrenheit. It’s not something I do regularly but it’s happened and will probably happen again.

      If I want ice cream, then I want ice cream. No other considerations matter.

        Alright then. But at 0 °F it is not going to melt without your intervention, no matter how sunny it is.
