He attended hometown schools before graduating in 1901 from Bowdoin College in Brunswick. The same year, he co-authored the text “Tales of Bowdoin,” using black and white photographs, and there have been updated editions of this book published with the last in 2008. He graduated from the Law School of University of Maine at Orono in 1904, was admitted to the bar, and started practicing law in Bangor.

While a congressman, he represented agriculture concerns especially Maine's potato farming by loudly protesting that Idaho potatoes were listed on the menu at the Congressional restaurant. From 1933 to 1935, sources state he was engaged in literary work in Washington D.C. In April of 1935, Snow was committed to the Maine State Prison for two to four year sentence for embezzlement, as he was convicted of converting to his own use funds from two estates of which he was serving as executor. He was pardoned in December of 1935. In 1936 he relocated to Gorham, Maine starting a poultry farm until 1945. At that point, he became secretary for the E.C.
