Mountains are a amazing place to go for a holiday with your family or friends and the climate is cool and refreshing and the air is pure and clean as there wont’ be any pollution when compare to cities.
You must aware that a snow blanket is very useful when you are in hill station and particularly where the climate goes -2 degree C
Quality of the snow blanket will vary in different places based on the climate of the hill station.
I’m one of the luckiest people in Salem, (India) where Yercaud (A hill station) is very near, about 5 kms to foot hills of yercaud from Salem city.
You can also find more details about Yercaud in my previous post “trip to Yercaud” with some couple of photographs of mine and nowadays my visit to Yercaud is almost weekly once.
I was not able to be there in Yercaud without wearing snow blanket or jerkin as the climate was very cool.
On that day, I thought that as a human we can protect by using jerkin from the climate, then what about small animals or plants?
If snow falls regular and does not melt, the soil is kept warm than it would be if there were no covering of snow.
Do you know why?
Snow contains a lot of air and this air makes it a sort of insulating blanket for the ground and animals can survive a severe winter under the protection of a snow blanket!
