Snow is good insulation. Ask any eskimo. They burn only a wick oil lamp in the igloo. If the snow hut turns to ice, it loses its insulation value. For this reason they leave a breathing hole. Burying ddh water pipe in snow is considered important. The Timmins heap leaching experiment in the winter by Pamour was not well documented by I remember reading about it. I lived there at the time, but never visited the site. Animals hibernate under brush piles covered with snow. You can see their breathing steam through holes in the snow. Bears tend to breath about once every 30 seconds or more as I recall. Normal slow human breathing rate is about 12 times a minute. EC<:-}
