Can snow help the ground?


Rate This Answer

Snow is a terrific insulator, and the ground never freezes during winters when snow falls early and deep, and stays. Plant stems go dormant in fall, not to awaken until spring, but roots grow whenever temperatures are not too cold, which may be the case under snow even in the dead of winter. Earthworms and soil microbes also keep at work as long as the soil doesn't get too cold. Snow also keeps perennials and newly planted trees firmly anchored in the ground. Do the ChaCha!
