About a year ago, I got really stressed out over having snow falling in my Neverwinter campaign. This morning I got up the courage to just ask Ed Greenwood himself on the Forgotten Realms Discord, and he was kind enough to provide this response, with an intriguing note about the Spellplague:

Q: Does it snow in Neverwinter? Or in Neverwinter Wood? ("Is it ever winter in Neverwinter?")

A: Oh, yes. In winter months, it snows quite often. What it doesn't do is freeze hard, nor does the snow accumulate; it melts when it touches ground. The magic that made Neverwinter "never winter" lost much of its potency when the Spellplague hit; these days, it's feebler.
