I got this from "Wilderness Way" magazine from this months edition;

What gifts does snow bring to the land, plants and animals:

-Scrubs the air of pollutants

-Adds nitrogen to the soil

-Recharges the water table and reduces runoff because it melts slowly and soaks in.

-Keeps soil and plants from drying out in the cold, dry winter air.

-Insulates the soil, protecting plants from damaginf freeze-thaw cycles and frost heaving.

-Compresses organic matter, which aids decomposition.

-Prunes trees which stimulates growth and provides forage for ground animals.

-Gives animals a water source when others are frozen over.

-Allows the rabbit and hare to reach higher for buds and twigs.

-Slows down and confines prey for large predators such as the wolf, coyote and cougar.

-Keeps herds healthy by helping to eliminate weak animals.

-Camouflages Hare, Ermine, Ptarmigan who turn white in winte.

-Protects hibernating animals along with those who live in tunnels below the snow.

Wow...

  1. God put man on earth to finish the earth and beautify it but the nature of man is to destroy not only his enviorment but himself as well.  That's exactly what Satan did when he was sent to earth to finish and beautify it.  Satan still sits on the throne of this world and it's his wavelength that man picks up on.  Satan broadcasts evil thoughts, moods and emotions  much like a radio transmitter and the minds of men pick up these transmissions.  Man then has the choice to dwell on these moods and emotions or clear his mind of them and do the right thing.
