I did ponder that, and they certainly are similar. Although the thing is, you have to consider how both are used in video games. Snow is characteristically softer than ice, it comes in larger masses, and you can mold it and shape it easily. Ice, on the other hand, while also cold, is harder, stiffer, and deadlier, like spikes. So basically, they're similar in nature, but if you apply them to combat and practical usage, they're pretty different.
