| You have learned some unknown electrical facts now. Snow as it falls and lays is a good insulator as there is quite a bit of airspace between moisture areas. Sticking the probe in the snow, not on into the ground left the probe insulated from ground yet. You felt a shock because as you step, you condense the snow and eliminate some of the air pockets making a better connection to ground. No matter if snow covers the bottom wire it will not ground it out until it melts enough to eliminat some of the air space. | |
