I've actually honestly considered this though it would require quite the knowledge in LUA of which I do not have.
Basically the box would move with the player, with the player inside it.
However, I'm currently jumping into the Skyrim Creation Kit to see how they pulled it off. As the snow seems to actually move based on which direction the player is walking and which speed. Also they have wind direction playing a roll too. Most likely particles.
