Are you sure it's a double negative?

It's a bit unclear desu. Have to think a bit about it to actually understand it.
Also, "them" refers to the "reasons"?

I'm not clear on might versus may since there are conflicting details about usage, but I think might is supposed to be past subjunctive only. e.g. "What might have been"

>The exact reason
>them

You have a plural noun referring to a singular antecedent. A reason isn't "them." A reason is "it."

Yes.

>It was snowing and it was going to snow
