Maybe there is some work going on at the transmitter. Have a look at

Digital terrestrial only needs 'just enough' signal to operate correctly whereas analogue pictures will get gradually worse (snowy) as the signal level drops. This could be what you are experiencing if the transmitter is on reduced power.

If this is a permanent problem and your transmitter is not on reduced power then maybe the aerial has moved slightly or there's water in the cable.
