Oh the weather outside
is frightful -- Not!
From a Michigan State University wintertime soil temperature
study: "...soils froze to depths greater than (7 inches) on
cultivated sites, which were windswept and barren of snow for most
of the winter... Sites insulated by forest cover and leaf litter,
as well as thin but persistent snowpacks, froze to depths of only
(an inch or less); temperatures at (7 inches) hovered near
(34-35°F) for most of the winter."
Below: Snow not only insulates but allows the subtle colors
of branch and seed pod to shine (below, left). Also, it's a medium
a snow-suited artist can use to spread a bit of cheer (below,
right). (There was no foul, environmentally speaking: It's just
food coloring and watered applied with a pump spray
bottle.)
