Until extraterrestrial life is proven to exist, they don't matter in the universal tally.
Snow does not mean "doesn't count." It's the "snow all the time, so you can't use it productively for anything" that counts. Winter snow is periodic, and the land that it falls on in more temperate regions is useful. Snow in upland Canada is more permanent, and much less useful in the greater scheme of things.
