Assuming the weather stayed snow, and you actually have manifolds, I can't see how you'd have snow in the engine, even if you had an open exhaust pipe (never have an open exhaust pipe - if you can't make the tin can part of your shutdown sequence every time, you need a rain flapper, IMHO).
Say it snowed in the exhaust, since snow making it past the air cleaner and around the intake seems ludicrous. If you have a muffler that has baffles, snow isn't getting to the manifold. If you have a glass-pack or straight pipe (you're going deaf needlessly and) snow could get all the way to the manifold. If the weather stayed cold, you have snow in the manifold, and you didn't heat the tractor before trying to start it, so it was still snow, not water. If the tractor starts, the snow would be blown out or melted and blown out. The only way I can see water making it into the engine is if the snow melted and liquid water ran down the exhaust, as described by Uncle Ernie. That does not seem like it would have happened given what you describe. Jump it and go.
