Toni, your comment makes me wonder if you are aware of the basics of wintersowing. Sounds like you might be thinking it is sowing seeds directly into the garden in winter?

We are talking about sowing seeds in covered, vented, recyclable containers, with drainage holes, and putting those outside in the elements in winter. My containers of choice are milk jugs.

The bumps in the snow are bins with jugs of seeds

I might have misread your comment, but, in any case, I consider snow a normal part of wintersowing. You don't have to see the ground, as long as you can get out the door and stick a jug in a bank of snow, all's well.
