Common symptoms of chionophobia include sweating, trembling, dread or panic, fast heartrate, difficulty breathing, crying, screaming, fainting, sensing mind loss, and urging to flee or hide. Claustrophobia and taphophobia, fear of being trapped or buried alive, are phobia symptoms of chionophobia because people can get trapped in the car during the accident or buried in the snow caused by avalanche or even deliberately buried by playmates. Other phobias associated with chionophobia are fear of falling down, fear of injury, and frigoriphobia (fear of cold weather).

Sufferers of chionophobia would try to stay indoors at all times throughout the winter, let alone avoid driving, sledding, skiing, building snowman and snowcastle, and snowfight. Some would even avoid seeing snow falling or on the ground by having their window shades closed. Many sufferers would check the weather forecast for any upcoming snowstorm.

Chionophobia can be treated by themselves by realizing that snow is water, a common winter occurrence and is part of the life, and often beautiful and not scary to see. If a person couldn't conquer fear themselves, they should seek professional help.

In the 2006 film , Jimmy Starks got chionophobia after learning that a fortune teller can only predict his future until the first snowfall of winter. As a result, he panicked after prediction was right and was killed soon after kicked in.
