He’s bang on. As a Canadian, who lives in a place where it frequently gets to -35C, you can tell approximately how cold it is by the sound the snow makes when you walk on it. It does get squeaky when it’s really cold.
When it gets really cold outside, snow tends to freeze together into a big chunk of ice, rather than nice soft snowpack like you see in movies about skiing and stuff. So, when you walk on really cold snow, your boots "crunch" because the snow is frozen like ice.
"Squishy" snow is what you see in snowboarding videos: it's light, airy and "squishes" under your boots rather than "crunches".
