Because wireless spectrum is finite. Anyone who's been on LTE since it started rolling out can tell you how degraded the network has become since more people came on to it.

Hehe, you know, line of sight solutions like lasers would be epically cool here.

Snow can be effectively invisible to a beam when wavelengths are larger than snowflakes (i.e. microwave range: broadly defined as lengths between 1mm and 1m.)

What confounds line-of-sight isn't "until it snows" but "until something/someone has to move around". :)
