"The remaining snowbanks". A lot have melted, along with the also reflective ice. The marginal increase in how reflecting they are just doesn't compare with how much heat absorbing are areas without snow or ice, there are in the order of thousands of millions of km2 less sea ice than in the past years (https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/seaice/ https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/seaice/) and ocean water absorbs a lot of heat.
