Hi everyone,
Can I use any of these sentences?

1. It snowed all night.
2. It has snowed all night.
3. It has been snowing all night.

Thank you.
 
This is my interpretation of your three sentences:

1. It snowed all night = It is no longer snowing.
2. It has snowed all night = It's possibly still snowing but we can't be sure.
3. It has been snowing all night = It's still snowing.
