Snow that has been moved by wind and collected into snowdrifts. Snow that has just fallen from the sky is considered to be pure and untouched, as in the phrase 'pure as driven snow'; meaning totally pure, untouched, morally chaste.
Jonas struggles to understand the Receiver's metaphor of going downhill through deep snow on a sled because he has never experienced such emotions or sensations. The metaphor represents the weight of memories and the burden of knowledge that comes with being the Receiver. Without the context of painful memories or the depth of human experience, Jonas cannot fully grasp the challenges and complexities that accompany the role of the Receiver. This lack of understanding highlights the limitations of his sheltered upbringing in a controlled society.
It depends on what the soil contains. It may contain sand or gravel. It may contain water. It may contain little or much organic material. It may be highly or loosely compacted.

Interesting question. The snow could be a metaphor for tragedy or sorrow. Notice, whenever it is snowing somthing sad has happened or is about to.
A metaphor for snow could be:SugarHope this helps :). Definition is here just in case:a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance
The poem "Dust of Snow" by Robert Frost employs the poetic devices of imagery, symbolism, and metaphor. The image of a crow shaking off snow onto the speaker serves as a metaphor for a small moment of clarity or revelation that can lift one's spirits. The contrast between the dark crow and the transformative power of the light snow dust creates a powerful symbolism in the poem.
