It says this jacket is water-resistant, but how well does it do when it's snowing?

I wouldn't count on this jacket to be water resistant much at all. Down has a natrural water repellant nature but is horrible when it gets wet. In a light snow you'd be okay but that's really about the extent of it. You can treat it with Nikwax DownProof or a couple of other Nikwax products which will make it much better in wet conditions.Hope that helps.
