AM signals are better due to the snow on the ground...

Many of you are reporting better local AM reception recently. It's because the snow on the ground (and the frozen ground as well) improves the ground conductivity, which improves the ground wave signals of AM stations.

Enjoy it while you can; it'll go away eventually.

I don't know if "enjoy it" is the right phrase...it has resulted in better daytime coverage of WSRO-AM 650 in Ashland with what appears to be foreign-language "religious" shows. The Disney AM in Pawtucket, RI seems a bit clearer too, not much to enjoy there. The AM's at the high end of the dial are being hit hard except from WWZN with its 50,000 watt signal. There's interference to WNSH's 30K stick (not very efficient) about 23 or so miles way, and WUNR during the day (whatever they're running for power right now since the two tall towers are gone, and they're using the new ones) is hammered by WWRL at times.
