When I read your post I assumed by "tracing on some snow objects" you meant
using trace to find the top surface of the letters and cover it in some
kind of fluffy looking snow flakes.  If that's the case, you could always
shoot it with a grid of "trace" and create a form fitting mesh.  Might be a
bit brute force, but hey....

Or..... I haven't thought this out yet, but you could do some difference CSG
with some fancy scaling of individual letters.

Or.... Maybe just translate the letters down some tiny amount to make your
cutting object.  Then manuallly add some boxes to the cutting object to get
the bits that remain.
