Dear Mr. Wood,
I think that the leeward side of the fence is called the Winter Warming side because the snow is layering as if it a 'blanket'. Like a blanket, it is gathering heat under it making it actually warmer under the snow than above it... My questions: Is organic material capable of living underneath the snow, or is it too cold? Also is there enough water (melted snow) for the plants to even try to survive underneath it? Would the permafrost be too high for them to grow their roots into the ground? Good Luck!!!
