With the train derailment in Ohio and the chemical burn off. I'm curious to see if there are elevated chemicals that can be traced in the snowfall.

Did you hear barking? Might be chemical induced auditory hallucinations!

Anything from the train derailment is long gone. You should be more concerned about local air pollution sources like power plants, asphalt batching, and diesel exhaust. Not to mention the multiple quarries in Rhode Island that don't do adequate dust suppression and blanket the neighborhood with silica dust (carcinogen)
however if your heart is set on it, you could run method 8260C on liquid water. However, there's nothing specific about snow that would change the results vs all the rain we've had since the derailment.

Probably had a better chance with the rain we had shortly after the incident. Its been weeks since it happened I highly doubt this snow we have has any traces at all

While you're at it, check for some caesium-137 coming out of Chernobyl.

LC-MS would work

Something is definitely up. I saw random yellow patches of snow on my walk this morning and every single one tested GROSS.
