The force that snow exerts on an object.

Approximate Density of Snow x Volume of Snow x Force of Gravity.

That would be for a point load, for any practical application you would want to calculation the pressure, so calculate the total volume of snow and divide by area.

snow and ice are different because ice is compacted and snow is frozen water droplets so the particles spread out.

add Snow will commonly have a density of less than 0.1, whereas ice will have a density close to ( but less than) 1.0. For ice floats on water - remember.
