Default Which is better for the lawn over the winter?

Raking all the leaves off the lawn before winter, or leaving the leaves
where they fell, and under a blanket of snow (see sig for location). If
left on the lawn where they fell, would the nutrients be better released
by melting snow, and also provide a smidgen of insulation for the ground?

I wouldn't recommend leaving the leaves under the snow. They tend to
get moldy & its not good for your yard come spring.
