snow portends the Second Coming, i.e. the apocalypse...
Gabriel and Michael are the two archangels from Heaven. One of the roles of the archangel Gabriel is to proclaim the second coming of CHrist. In the final paragraph of the story, we see a lot of Christian imagery: crosses, churchyard, thorns. The snow is described as "the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead" (final lines).
Or maybe its just freaking snow and it provides a break from the monotony of the party.. which is ironic b/c watching snow fall is by itself fairly monotonous. You trade one monotonous act for another. Like watching reruns of seinfeld all day, "the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short" (Hobbes, Leviathan).
