Duplicate of MC-31205 - If you have not, please use the search function in the future, to see if your bug has already been submitted. If you could not find the original report, please comment with the keywords you searched for.
I did search for the issue before and while it's related to MC-31205 I don't consider it a duplicate. The difference is, that all other bug reports I found are about the new 1.7 biome Taiga not having any snow, while I'm concerned about Taiga biomes that have been created in 1.6 already.
This is not the same as other snowless Taiga reports. All other duplicates of MC-31205 are surprised that newly-generated Taiga (i.e., generated with 1.7, not with 1.6) is snowless, which is invalid and works as intended.
This issue addresses the "grandfathering" of existing 1.6 snowy biomes so that they continue to be snowy in 1.7. What they're called is irrelevant, although in 1.7 they're called Cold Taiga. This issue is valid, but may indeed be resolved as Won't Fix.
If this is left as a duplicate, simply by viewing the linked issue reports, developers will not be informed that it's the issue of continuity of already-existing snowiness that we're concerned with.
Edit: Basically, if it snows in a particular area in 1.6, it should snow in that same area in 1.7.
Duplicate of MC-31205
There are three variants of Taiga biomes as of 1.7: Taiga, Mega Taiga, and Cold Taiga. Only Cold Taiga will have snow.

Duplicate of Works As Intended
MC-31205
I just created a world in 1.0.0 and all previously generated biomes converted into other biomes, for example, a swamp converted into snowy tundra or desert converted to forest.
Relates to MC-31205
I didn't test yet but I think it will 99.98% certainly happen if I convert an old world from the first version that had prooper biomes - alpha v1.2.0.

There is just one remaining problem: As shown in the duplicate
MC-35151existing Taiga biomes are snowy, but when upgrading to 1.7 they are updated to the snowless Taiga version, instead of the Cold Taiga. This will cause most of the snow in existing taiga Biomes to melt over time. It would be probably better to replace old Taiga Biomes with the new Cold Taiga when updating to 1.7, but I'm not sure how difficult that would be now.
