Generally speaking no. Tornadoes are a result of thunderstorm, which depend on a supply of warm, moist air. However, many tornadoes are associated with cold fronts, which cause temperatures to drop. As a result, some tornadoes may be followed by snow, though this is a rather rare occurrence.

What happens after a tornado strikes in snow?

It would be highly unusual for a tornado to strike an area where there is snow on the ground. Tornadoes generally occur during periods of warm weather. If such an event were to occur it would be little different from a tornado striking under ordinary circumstances. The tornado would likely lift some snow into the air, but that would be of little to no consequence compared with the damage tornadoes usually inflict.

What do you call a tornado that hits snow?

It is still just a tornado. However, it would be quite unusual to have an actual tornado go through an area where there is snow on the ground, as such conditions would generally be be too cold for tornado formation. Sometimes, though, you can get small whirlwinds that usually result from wind interacting with trees, buildings, and terrain. These are not tornadoes, but harmless eddies. If they lift snow into the air they are somtimes called snow devils.
