Kayo, It's simple. If the DeLorean has around 6 inches of gound clearance, then it can rise up over the snow since it is compacting some of it as it goes along; at least an inch or two. Remember, the snow might be 8 inches deep, but the deLoreans tire isn't hitting the pavement either. The compacted snow under the tire gives it that extra boost up.
