How does the depth of the snow cover influence the depth to which the ground freezes?

As pressure (ie, depth) goes up, freezing temperature goes down. however it gets complicated as ice has many different phases and moves between those phases as pressure and temperature changes.

∙ 9y agoThe depth of snow cover has an inverted influence on the depth to which the ground freezes. The more snow, the less depth of frozen ground. The snow acts like an insulator on the ground that reflects sunlight.

How many square feet is in a yard of soil?
The language used in this question indicates some confusion, so we must clarify some points first.First, although a yard is a unit of length, when you go to a commercial garden center, a "yard" of soil is really a cubic yard. In other words, it's a volume; it has length, width, and height (or depth). But people in the business just call it a yard.Second, a square foot is a unit of area, not volume, so you cannot convert from cubic yards to square feet. However, a cubic yard of soil will cover a certain area of ground, but you have to know how deep you want the soil to be.If you're covering the ground to do a reseeding of lawn, it doesn't have to be too deep, so a (cubic) yard will cover a good amount of ground, but if you're filling in some flower beds or vegetable garden, it won't cover as much area.A cubic yard of soil will cover approximately an 18' x 18' square (324 square feet) to a depth of one inch.
