It certainly would if you lit it, what would happen afterwards would depend on the specifics, the tree, the amount of gasoline, etc. In any case, it sounds like a very foolish thing, as the possibility for unexpected results (like explosions, or serious burns) are high.
If you really need to burn something like that, a less explosive mineral spirits, lamp oil, or kerosene would be safer.

It depends on whether or not the tree has a lot of little twigs and limbs, like a bush, or if it is more like a large trunk.
If you just cut it down, then it's probably too moist, the gas will just burn off. If it's firewood and has been dead for a while, it should be fairly dry. I don't know that gas will get it started, but I guess it would help to melt off the snow.

if the snow storm is strong im sure no because the gasoline diluite with the water in the snow, or probably because the gas evaporate first before the snow storm o in the middle os the storm. The gas in this temperature dont freezing

the gas itself would burn ,but the trees would be too wet.
