There's another thread talking about it too and it has some good pictures in it. I would recommend scrolling through page 2 to see the snow angel pictures and the roof pictures. The difference should be obvious then.
The 'difference'? From what I've seen of the snow angels, they don't require depth at all. I always thought when I saw it in the trailer that something about the snow angel looked off, and now that we've seen there is no depth to the snow it makes sense. The snow angel effect could be created by creating 3D models of snow around the Sim in the shape of a snow angel. However, I don't even know that they're even doing that. From the screenshots in that topic the snow angel is so hard to see that I'm led to believe that it might not even be achieved by models, but might be textures, like the snow altogether. However, we don't know that for sure.
Either way, they're creating an illusion of a snow angel, nothing more.
