| Aug 13, 2018 at 19:25 | comment | added | Nathan | I actually have no idea. Tone doesn't come across in text, but I'm legitimately curious, because I think I may have heard that advice before as well. I know that you should cover ice blocks with snow, but that's different. I would test it, but I'm short on snowy weather atm. | |
| Aug 13, 2018 at 15:23 | comment | added | Sasha | @NathanCooper, I don't know what are benefits from theoretical point of view, but I sometimes heard that people do it in practice (through I never did it myself). To say truth, I am now not even sure that it's intended to protect from warm, maybe it was intended to protect small/loose details from wind. Or is it just a mispractice that passes from ears to ears? | |
