No, do not fly during a snow storm
this is a bad idea and will eventually cause damage to your aircraft

Snow is simply water with a slight delay on it..........as Rich said, it would be a very expensive bath.

It is definitely not recommended to fly during the snow, rain,  storm, tornado, earthquake, end of the world or any other kind of natural disasters

So, flying during an asteroid impact or meteor storm is fine? Got it.

Warranty will not cover the damage from the asteroids

I would happily donate my drone to get Asteroid shots........ Pretty sure I could afford another one with all the news royalties....

That's a shame. How about pyroclastic flows? I'd love to take a video of one of those... Not sure where I'd stand to not be in the way of it, though.

Ideally not but a few seconds in light snowdall at sunrise could look very cool but of course the cost could be you need a new drone. Otherwise you want to film the snow on the ground as much as possible. Its stunning at dawn or dusk! As you get some more colour & depth to the snow / landscape
