This is meant for healthy horses that are kept out of freezing rain conditions. In normal conditions of fluctuating cold where there is snow, and no cold rain, a horse can quite positively stand the winter months without a rug., as you will see in the information in the link provided.
A horse that is underweight, sick or for some reason is not maintaining it's body heat, should be covered with a rug only until it is brought back to health.
If a layer of snow is covering your horses back then your horse is maintaining it's body heat well, however if you find the snow is melting off, and a steam is rising from the back then your horse is loosing body heat and the issue should be dealt with appropriately.
