First, the good side of the snow is we will have a beautiful spring. Snow not only brings moisture but helps convert Nitrogen to a form used by plants. That is why everything looks so green after it rains. You asked a question about soils. I suggest contacting your local Master Gardening club or extension office. They will probably direct you to start a compost pile. You can also Google it. In the meantime, many towns have a free source of compost and mulch - just ask your local extension agent. You can also use fertilizer from the store, but NUTTIN beats good compost. I prefer to use horse or cow manure in mine, but some people use chicken and sheep manure. The last 2 have 2-3x the nitrogen content though so you want to let it sit in compost for a while, or spread it in your garden in the fall. Contact me if you need more help. I use to live in OK but moved to KS when I married my husband. Take care! Found your site thru P-Dub. First, the good side of the snow is we will have a beautiful spring.
