用法筆記
This sense is a common collocation formed by the pattern 'noun + -covered'. It describes something completely concealed under snow, not merely snow lying on the surface — often used in descriptive writing or weather reports. Distinguish from sense 1 (SNOW ON SURFACE), where snow is present but the underlying surface remains visible or distinguishable.
