That they will use snow machines, but it still has to be above a certain temperature to get the snow to stick.

It doesn't necessarily have to be 32F for artificial man made snow, they just need to get the ground cold enough so it doesn't melt on impact.

A few minute scene can cost close to half a million for simple CGI, and they probably want to save that budget for dragons and such.
