Snow in the Bible symbolizes purity, forgiveness, and God’s divine grace. In Psalm 147:16-17 it illustrates God’s majestic control over nature, and celebrates His greatness, care for His people, and Sovereignty over the natural world. For just as snow blankets the earth with softness and protection, it demonstrates how God’s grace and mercy can cover over and protect us. And elsewhere, in Isaiah 1:18 we see the stain of sin washed “whiter than snow” by the redemption of Jesus as He bore our punishment on the cross. Finally, as a fresh blanket of snow buffers the sound…we should shield our ears from the foolishness of the world and listen for His still, small voice. (I Corinthians 3:19)
