Words that rhyme with Snowy
The phonetic facts first: snowy is two-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the clipped /ɪ/, and the line ends on an open vowel. It's a weather-word doing tonal work. Songwriters reach for it as a weather word. Perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why snowy rhymes the way it does
In our engine, snowy registers as a two-syllable word on the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) that doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 0, assonance 3,083, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With snowy, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
