Regarding the picture, I think we have to remember that it was taken at night, zoomed onto the footprints, and looking down into the ditch. The dark part isn't in the background, but rather, the bottom, lowest part of the ditch. Compare the picture:

If you're looking down into the ditch, with the camera zoomed on the high part of the ditch, I imagine that it could look quite deep, and water or dirt would remain uncovered by the snow for a longer period of time.
