Following the recent snow here in Hampshire, my over wintering onions (and garlic) are blanketed in snow. Not sure if this will insulate them and do them no harm, or kill them off! On the other side, where the snow is laid on the plastic sheet on my raised beds, it should be warming the soil nicely I think!

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesby raryI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
