If you keep the water, all things equal, the water will protect the ice. The melted water will keep at 0*C, protecting the ice, where the air will be warmer, so if no water the air will apply a higher temp to the surface.

Water requires a lot of energy to change degrees. It is actually not a great conductor. Now if you have warm water, same reasonkng applies as it has lots of energy so it'll melt it very quickly.

Someone do the experiment and share it.
