Snow pack and rain behave differently hydrologically. Alberta's environment is geared towards absorbing snow pack. I can't remember exactly but something like 70% of soil moisture comes from such. Our biome is not such that it captures rain as effectively. Of course with climate change farms and water reservoirs will need to find ways to capture rain as effectively, because we just ain't getting snow like we used to. Any how, Snow > rain when it comes to growing food.
