In Jonas's memory, the snow disappeared after he passed through the Giver's threshold. This represents how the memories were removed from the collective consciousness of society and kept only by the Giver and the Receiver.

The memory of sledding.
The solider memory, snow sledding, a sunburn, the sun, snow, coldness, warmth colors (the rainbow), and various other ones.
Jonas' first memory in "The Giver" is of sliding down a snowy hill on a sled. This memory brings him joy and excitement, as he experiences feelings of freedom and exhilaration for the first time.
The Giver tried to transfer the memory of sledding down a hill in the snow to Jonas to help him experience joy and happiness. This memory was intended to give Jonas a positive and exhilarating experience, as he had been sheltered from such emotions in his community.
The first memory the old man gives to Jonas is of sledding down a snowy hill. Jonas experiences the thrill and excitement of the ride as well as the sensation of cold snow on his face.
The first good memory that Jonas experiences in "The Giver" is when he sleds down a snowy hill and feels joy and exhilaration for the first time. This memory contrasts with his previous experiences of sameness and lack of emotion in the community.
In Lois Lowry's novel "The Giver," the old Receiver used his ability to transmit his memories to Jonas through touch. By placing his hands on Jonas's back, he could transfer the memory of snow to him so he could experience it for himself. This method allowed Jonas to access a whole range of emotions and sensations that had been suppressed in their community.
chap.11 With no words, just by touching Jonas's back lightly, the old man transmits the memory. Jonas actually feels the cold; then he can see snow, a sled, a hill and feel himself sledding downhill (foreshadowing here-remember that sled). When Jonas opens his eyes, the Receiver explains that the memory he has just given Jonas is a very distant memory, from before Climate Control, before the community went to Sameness. The Receiver then transmits memories of sunshine and sun- burn. Before Jonas leaves, the old man, who seems ter- ribly weary and sad, tells Jonas to call him The Giver.
Jonas experiences a broken leg when he temporarily takes on a memory of sledding down a hill in the snow. The sensation of falling and breaking his leg causes him intense physical pain.
