I would probably get it up on a lift and inspect for damage in wiring, lines or components.

rice: Is this to say you were driving and went off the road into snow and packed it in enough to get up under the hood to open an air filter housing? I'm not thrilled with snow getting into where air filter is housed but no telling quite yet.

As HT suggests check underside for ANYTHING out of order. Also check under the hood carefully for pulled or broken items now especially integrity of air filter housing and how it routes to thru snorkeling to intake.

It happened and does with snow, ice up to other like mud, wet leaves, ponded water and you just don't know without at least first finding anything pulled out or broken.

Late now if done wrong but when stuck in whatever how you get out can be more damaging than how you got into the situation. Each situation would be unique. Spinning wheels wildly isn't good nor is shifting quickly for forward to reverse as drivetrain parts don't like that at all.

Check everything that possible was touched. The shock of water or snow on warm or hot items can break them some unseen,
