Generally speaking, snow that falls after Halloween will be here until the next May. This snow may or may not melt. Some that is in shade may be here next Spring.

Now we are getting some snow;

Yeah, a couple of days ago the province of Alberta, just north of you, also got snow. Hazards of living alongside the Rockies which make cold air slide along their flank instead of passing over.

Nothing of interest to talk about in the game.

West Yellowstone basically is surrounded by mountains, so it gets a lot of snow and cold temperatures.
