The advice was to roll in the snow in your wet clothing, as the snow will absorb the water.
Only dry, powdery snow will absorb water - the kind of powder you find when the temperatures are well below the freezing point of water. If it is 0C/32F or above the snow will be wet and won't absorb anything. Snow that has transformed into larger ball-shaped crystals won't be of much help, no matter the temperatures.
Or most of the water. If it does work, would it work well enough so you wouldn't have to undress to wring out the clothing?
Dunno, haven't actually tried it - but I seriously don't think so.
