It is not unnatural when the snow falls during that time, but there is no certainty.
If it is possible to change the schedule, it should be more mid winter.

The high elevations should have snow by the end of November so if you head to a mountain ski resort such as Kiroro, west of Sapporo, you should have some snow. The low valley areas may or may not have snow at that time, depending on the year.

These are the opening dates of some ski resorts in Hokkaido in 2017.

Nov 19 Daisetsuzan Kurodake
Nov 19 Nakayama Toge

Nov 22 Furano
Nov 23 Kiroro
Nov 23 Snow Cruise Onze

Daisetsuzan Kurodake means Kurodake Ropeway in Sounkyo. You may visit Daisetsuzan Asahidake Ropeway instead to see the snow there.

Nakayama Toge is on the bus line between Sapporo and Lake Toya. The skiing ground is a bit far from the nearest bus stop. But you may enjoy the snow on the way.

Sapporo Teine is a set of two ski resorts. The higher part was opened in November.

Furano is a bit south of Asahidake.

There would be a bus either from Otaru and Sapporo to Kiroro. Snow Cruise Onze is between Sapporo and Otaru.

Niseko is far from Otaru. Rusutsu is between Sapporo and Lake Toya or Niseko.

Other dates for planned opening dates.

Nov 23 Kamoidake
Nov 25 Nayoro Piyashiri

Kamoidake is a local family ski ground. Nayoro is in the north of Asahikawa.
