Most words in a language originate with phonemes to express some semantic content. The words snow in historical linguistics differ in opinion as to its origin in geographical regions where snow was visualized or the attributes which were universal.

The word snow has attributes of color, form etc borrowed from either Anglo saxon origin of the English language or other languages such as sanskrit..

See the link for a summary of the origin of the word. The word can be traced back to Sanskrit roots. In a broader sense, words are mysterious, because they are all metaphorical in nature. That is, they are things that represent something else. This might lead you into some interesting reading on linguistics, which is a really huge and fascinating topic.
