I can see this easily with a battery powered engine, but a huge pita with electric.

Why?

If you're thinking about a short circuit between the rails you need to know that snow is generally not as conductive as you think, unless it's very wet, because it's mostly air.

On the other hand if it's not powder or fluffy, but heavy wet snow, then both weight and electrical conductivity might be problems for traditional O Gauge stuff.  Then again heavy wet snow might not work with battery powered 'G' stuff either because of the weight.
