Yes, snow can insulate the ground. The air trapped within the snowflakes creates a layer of insulation that helps to retain heat in the soil beneath it. This insulation effect can protect plant roots and other organisms from extreme cold temperatures, allowing them to survive winter conditions. However, the effectiveness of snow as an insulator depends on its depth and density.
