      Yes it does. Think about a snow cave or an igloo. Also, in extreme freezes citrus farmers coat their trees and fruit in ice to protect and insulate them.

      Snow is only 32 degrees . I am sure it would insulate from extreme cold, and keep the wind from chilling more.

      It works! Anyone with wind and a poor insulated house or trailer house banks the house in the North. As soon as it warms up or the snow shrinks away from siding you know it when the cold hits again.

      It does seem to have an effect but come spring and the snow begins to melt, the snow against the house can become a pool in the basement.

      Heck yes it works, just like putting an extra blanket on the bed!
