Jonas's experiences with his memories are intimately connected with the idea of snow, from his first received transmission of sledding through snow on a hillside to his experience of a broken leg and finally to his real encounter with it at the novel's conclusion. As with many other things that have been eradicated through Sameness, snow involves the dangers that the community chose to end in its quest for safety. At the same time, however, it brings Jonas great joy, through his exhilaration in his first memory and in his apparent recognition of the existence of Elsewhere in the last chapter. Snow is neither good nor bad, but the novel implies that its absence takes some essential aspect away from the world. Removing a risk involves removing the benefits that could have resulted from taking the risk.

In "The Giver," the author portrays Jonas as unfamiliar with snow by describing his confusion and awe upon experiencing it for the first time. Jonas's reactions and questions about snow to the Giver show his lack of prior knowledge or exposure to it. Additionally, the Giver explains snow to him in a way that indicates Jonas's prior ignorance about this natural element.

The Giver explains that the experience of snow has been lost and taken away from the community. He reveals that memories of things like snow, sleds, and hills have all been erased in order to maintain control and prevent people from feeling true emotions.
In the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, The Giver explains to Jonas that with Climate Control, snow became obsolete because it hindered food growing as well as transportation.
In Lois Lowry's novel "The Giver," the concept of snow represents a new experience for Jonas, as he discovers the thrill and beauty of this weather element for the first time. Snow is used as a symbol of diversity, change, and the unknown in a world where everything is controlled and predictable. Ultimately, it is through experiencing the snow that Jonas gains a deeper understanding of the joys and complexities of life.
Jonas is able to clearly remember the snow and the sled in "The Giver" because those memories were transmitted to him by the Giver through the process of experiencing them firsthand. These memories were unique and powerful, staying with Jonas vividly after he received them.
