The more snow on the ground, the less water in the sea, until it melts.
With sufficient amounts of snow/ice which did not melt, sea-level would fall - like it does in an ice age.

Is this snow going to be on land? Then is it fresh water that freezes or salt water? Are we going to end up with a giant floating iceberg with a lot of it under water? All I can tell you is when water freezes, it expands.
Seems like I read something some time ago and this gentleman was saying that as the ice caps melt the seas will actually go down because the amount of ice under the water that will melt takes up more space than its original water and the water of the melted ice above it. (I have no idea if this is true)
Here's some thoughts to add a little spice to your work.
Lots of luck-I'm getting a head ache.

Who cares if it freezes over. Actually, the correct answer is probably that it would slowly over eons dry up.
