There wouldn't have been any snow at the time of the Nativity, since Jesus was most likely born in July, the month that taxes were collected in Bethlehem. December was the month of the Winter Solstice celebration and when the Roman Empire became Christian they simply added Christ's birthday to the general festivities, along with the Yule log etc.
