True.

Having little snow during the winter can lead to a drought because snow is a form of precipitation that accumulates over time and melts slowly, providing water to rivers, streams, and groundwater reserves. If there is little snow, there may not be enough water to meet the needs of plants, animals, and humans during the dry months of the year. Additionally, snow acts as a natural reservoir that releases water gradually, so without it, there may be more rapid runoff and less water available for use later on.
