Snow has many uses in nature. A thick layer of snow does not allow heat to escape from the ground beneath it. It works like a blanket to save plants and animals from the damage caused by freezing temperatures. Although it may be cold above the ground, snow is a good insulator, and keeps the heat underground in. It is because snow keeps heat in that many Eskimos and Arctic explorers build igloos of snow blocks.
Snow is often a very useful source of water supply, especially in hot, dry countries. Often, deep layers of snow on high mountains will not melt until late spring or early summer. Rivers like the Nile in Africa, and the Indus in India, would dry up in hot weather without supplies of melting snow. Another use of snow is all the fun you can have when the ground is covered in snow.
