If you are getting snow I'd be willing to bet the water is getting pretty cold, so I'd look to cold water lures like a jig-n-pig of suspending jerkbait fished real slow.

I fished Saturday here, it was 48 deg. air, raining, a little wind, and water temp was 49. My lake is completely full of weed beds, and at 300 acres on this side it is difficult for me to figure anything out. I couldn't find any bass. I had one pike on a jig with a craw trailer and another one on a LC pointer jerk bait. I tried about everything else as well, with no results. I have heard of people having good luck around here with a jig this time of year though. Oh well, I am putting my boat away for the year now.
Edit: You southerners have such nice weather, I am headed off to Atlanta for two weeks on Tuesday. I will enjoy it.

I agree with Reb on this one.
