I've not heard of a quoted price changing due to snow, but I talked to an end user who showed me they were invoiced about 20% more than their initial quote due to snowfall.

As it happens, they were initially quoted a cable trenching job during early fall/autumn, signed the quote, but didn't actually get the proper clearance/permissions until there was snow on the ground (image is just for illustration):
