>>1089999Everything this anon says is true. Most fresh (unpacked, unmelted/refrozen) snowfall has pretty good sound absorption properties (1.0 being 100% absorption and 0.0 being 0%). Similar to down. It depends a lot on how porous the snow is, how deep, and the size of the crystals, but no matter what it has good sound absoprtion, especially at high frequencies. When it's actually snowing the snowflakes in air have a significant effect as well as the snow on the ground. It's a magical sensation that equatorfags will never know.
