The snow is so deep that it reached the Earth's core.
The snow is so deep it was a part of the ocean.
The snow was so deep that it was full of gasoline.
People wear snowshoes to increase the surface area of their feet, distributing their weight over a larger area to prevent sinking into deep snow. This makes walking in snowy conditions easier and prevents fatigue.
Snowshoes spread the weight of the person over a wider area and this enables the surface of the snow to support their weight. This means that the person can walk on the surface of the snow rather than breaking through it. ----------------------------------------------------- Consider the opposite. If you had an icepick you could easily drive it deeply into the snow. It's so skinny that it wouldn't have to push much snow out of the way to penetrate the surface. The bigger it gets, the more snow gets compacted as it pushes on the surface. Eventually, the weight/area gets so low that it wouldn't penetrate at all.
The fluffiness of the snow can vary how deep it is compared to an inch of rain. On average, however, ten inches of snow is an inch of rain, so .04 inches of rain is similar to .4 inches of snow.
A hyperbole is an exaggeration and is meant to be figurative.
It depends on the type of snow and personal preference, but typically 2-4 inches of snow is enough for sledding. Snow that is too light or fluffy may make sledding difficult, while snow that is too deep can slow down the sled.
The snow is so deep we will be forced to start eating non-essential parts of our house guests.

I had to walk fifteen miles uphill both ways, in snow five feet deep.
I am as deep as the Atlantic Ocean :)
No, a hyperbole is an exaggeration for effect, like I could sleep for a year.
A hyperbole would be saying something like "There's enough snow here to reach the sky!" to exaggerate the size of the snow pile in a dramatic or humorous way.
It just drops from the sky!
The snow was piled higher than the Himalayas; we would need Sherpas to guide us.
It's a hyperbole.

A hyperbole is an exaggeration, but more extreme. "I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse" is an example of a hyperbole.
