Water bottle

A device, comprising:

• a portable water bottle, including:
• a double-walled vessel including a space between an outer vessel and an inner vessel received in the outer vessel;
• at least one heating element in the space and positioned around at least a portion of an exterior surface of the inner vessel;
• and
• a lid removably coupled to the double-walled vessel to selectively provide access to the inner vessel,
• wherein the lid has an elongated body to assist with loading of snow or ice, or both, into the inner vessel.

• and
• a controller in electrical communication with the at least one heating element, including:
• a microcontroller;
• and
• a snow sensor in electrical communication with the microcontroller,
• wherein the microcontroller is configured to activate a melting cycle in response to user input, and
• wherein the microcontroller is further configured to terminate the melting cycle in response to feedback from the snow sensor that snow or ice, or both, in the inner vessel has been melted.
