Slightly-snowed
Describing a condition where a surface or area has received a light coating of snow.

It suggests a dusting or a thin layer rather than a substantial snowfall. The term focuses on the degree of snowfall, indicating a subtle and superficial alteration of the surrounding landscape due to the presence of snow.
