That's a really difficult a question. In British English either is equally correct though they can have subtle differenced in meaning which I am finding difficulty explaining. Of course you have the third variant which is "Covered 'in' snow".
I'm sure that somebody else can describe it in technical terms. But my understanding as a natural English speaker is....
Covered 'by' snow kind of infers that this action has recently occurred.
e.g. The parked car was covered by snow.
Covered 'with' snow kind of infers that the object has not recently been covered.
e.g. The parked car was covered with snow.
Covered 'in' snow is kind of descriptive.
e.g. The parked car was covered in snow.
