I'm a new DM and new to the game in general, First adventure is in IceWind Dale and one of players is a water Genasi. What kind of rules can I set in this cold setting? Such as can the shape water cantrip be used on snow/ice or just water? or would that be overpowered?

Shape Water only works on liquid water. If it could be used on ice or snow it would say so in the description.
Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
^This!
A spell does exactly what the spell says it does, and nothing more (unless the DM allows it).
You don't need to "set" any new rules, just run with what is already available... especially as a new DM and as someone new to the game.
...cryptographic randomness!
