Maybe they are afraid of blizzards, not snow as it is. I mean, there is always a chance for some bad scenario, so if you overthink it, you will be afraid. :D

That's a fair point. The main thing is the  conditions which snow may pose like the blizzard, icy roads or even power loss. Thinking about it too much can most definitely increase anxiety levels if not double or triple it.
