The snow is tall. vs The snow is thick.

Both phrases are correct, but they convey different meanings. 'The snow is tall' implies that the snow is piled up to a significant height. By contrast, 'the snow is thick' suggests that the snow is densely packed or has a large volume. The choice between the two phrases depends on whether you want to emphasize the height or density of the snow.
