That is so Jordan. When an aircraft rotates on take off it's because the pilot has eased/pulled/hauled back on the controls forcing the tail down. Things can and do go wrong at that point such as tail strike or tyre failure due to the aircraft being at its heaviest with hardly any fuel used (possibly way over its maximum landing weight).
Snow gently deposited on the upper surfaces would bear no relationship to flight induced stress loads.
