The Victoria line actually does go above ground for the approach to its depot at Tottenham ( hich you can see if you're ever out walking that way - and God knows why you would be). This is only a very short stretch of overground track, true, but it's probably enough to give them an excuse.
Mind you, the Victoria line has gone from being one of the quickest, most reliable lines on the underground to one of the worst since I came back to Britain, so I doubt snow has anything to do with it. It's probably just one of their "glitches" coming into play again which would have happened whatever the weather.
