Snow
Snow is one of the gardener's best shelters, and should never be removed from his out-door crops. It prevents heat from radiating from them; protects them from freezing, drying blasts; and, being a bad conductor of heat, thus prevents its escape from them. I have never known the surface of the earth, below a covering of snow, colder than 32°, even when the temperature of the air above has been 28°. - Johnson's Principles of Gardening.
