As with practically any RF-based application, normal weathering presents
no significant defects in the radio spectrum.  Obviously an El-Ninio
snowstorm *might* cause some detrimental effects.  I would suggest as
with any antenna which has "hollow" radials ( yagi-type ) to put a piece
of nylon rope in each of the radials and seal them with a silicon
epoxy.  This will significantly reduce the stress on the antenna due to
"singing".

Radio stations, television stations, et al use wireless technology in
bad weather everyday and normally don't experience problems.  I highly
doubt the average snow storm would cause any problems.  The wind should
be your biggest concern, and using the rope/epoxy should assist you in
curing that problem.
