As you'll note, it's a "debug" sign cheat, which means it's only present in 
debug versions for developers.  Basically, if it's not in the manual, you 
can not expect it to work...

It's to open TTD's built-in debugger window.  As to the purpose of *that*, 
you should probably ask Chris Sawyer.  It was probably for testing various 
features during development.

That's generally not a good idea, because the game keeps track of number of 
buildings and population internally, and if you remove things with the 
debugger these numbers get messed up.

Well, there is only one kind of snow in TTD.  So unless a grf file provides 
different graphics, that's what you'll get.  The snowline.grf has no 
graphics, it only sets the snowline.

Except Cht: Climate messes up the acceptance of industries, whereas 
snowline.grf just sets the snowline.
