It is still just a tornado. However, it would be quite unusual to have an actual tornado go through an area where there is snow on the ground, as such conditions would generally be be too cold for tornado formation. Sometimes, though, you can get small whirlwinds that usually result from wind interacting with trees, buildings, and terrain. These are not tornadoes, but harmless eddies. If they lift snow into the air they are somtimes called snow devils.

Can snow occur during a tornado?

It is very rare for snow to occur during a tornado. Tornadoes are associated with warm and moist conditions, whereas snow typically requires colder temperatures. However, in extremely rare cases where intense cold air meets warm, moist air, there is a very small chance for snow to occur during a tornado.

What happens after a tornado strikes in snow?

It would be highly unusual for a tornado to strike an area where there is snow on the ground. Tornadoes generally occur during periods of warm weather.

The tornado would likely lift some snow into the air, but that would be of little to no consequence compared with the damage tornadoes usually inflict.
