I think it would be cool if snow (maybe only in mountain biomes) could pile up. Snow can already kinda do this in vanilla when snowing leaves a thin line of snow on the surface of the block, but wouldn't it mke sense if these thin snow lines pile up into a snow block naturally? Maybe the piling up would be gradual but have an increased chance at higher altitudes.

Along with this idea what if there were avalanches. For instance; say snow eventual piles up 4 blocks high then as soon as this happens the snow block would look for an open block to fall on to and then follow gravity like sand or gravel. if the snow falls on another snow block then it triggers another reaction etc, but if it lands on a solid block it would stop unless three more blocks fell on it. This reaction could of course be triggered by a player that mines a block beneath a snow block.

If this were implemented snow could cause maybe 1/4 the damage of a falling anvil and if it piles high enough could suffocate the player.

I have no idea how hard it would be to code this, but i think it would be a cool little feature.
