[Geysers] Non-geyser query

[sheri]

Doesn't it depend on which way the wind is blowing..
if the snow even falls under the tree?
and at what depth....
because of the extension of the branches....??

Just don't build a fire under a tree loaded with snow..
Not good results..

  Seems to me it would take roots longer to cool down, so if they're warmer
  than the earth, the snow will melt there faster.  Just a really
  unscientific guess!
