Note
One spelling does double duty: a regular -ed form serves both the simple past and the participle after have. Usually the subject is the empty it of weather, with nothing in particular doing the snowing. The transitive uses change that. Blossom can be snowed across a lawn, and hair snowed white by age. In slang, a person can be snowed by flattery or confusing figures, a passive in which the participle carries the deception.
