Last month, I posted about burying vegetables in the snow to preserve them. The original post can be seen ▷ here.
As mentioned in the original post, vegetables are harvested late in the year and then buried in the snow, or in some cases the vegetables are left in the ground under the snow and harvested later. The snow not only preserves the vegetables, but also makes the vegetables sweeter.
A while ago, a local resident used a shovel to dig (by hand) through about five feet of snow to uncover his greenhouse filled with prized leafy green vegetables. The vegetables, naturally sweetened by the cold temperatures and snow, are a delicacy at this time.
The photo below shows the greenhouse that was buried under the snow. The walls of snow around it are about five feet high. The greenhouse seems to have a steel frame to prevent it from collapsing under the weight of the snow.
