As the snow settles to the ground it causes osmosis which is the diffusion of water causing the grass cells to take in the water because diffusion travels froma an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration the grass cell has low concentration so the snow travells to the cell which tries to create equilibrium because the solvent or snow is hypoptonic to the solution in the cell the cell srinks causing it to die out
