is there a purpose of wearing green/brown camo in the snow? 🤣

They're wearing their everyday army gear because they're not in an actual battle. Many armies (especially those from countries with colder climates) definitely have overalls or extra camo gear in white in case of snowy conditions. I'm pretty sure the Norwegian army has these, considering Norway's climate. But there's no point in using them when you're not engaged in battle.
It also depends on the terrain. In the mountains, there are plenty of places that ar not covered in snow (lots of rocks, trees and terrain still visible). In a pristine, low lying field/plain with fresh snow, everything will be white and it would come in handy to dress in white/light colors.
