Foot off accelerator idle drops

so just recently my car has done this to me a few times once I was driving down the road and when i take my foot off the accelerator the idle would smack 0 then idle like normal and then fixed itself 5 minutes later today (like a week later) it has done it to me again and it snowed all over my car if that has anything to do with it i think i had snow all over it last time also but this time it actually cut off while driving and i was switching gears i obviously popped the clutch in 5th but yeah i was just wondering what it was does anybody know or had this happen to them

Does it only do it when you cut the accelerator off? Or does it do it randomly while just cruising? Does the car act like it lost power for a moment before coming on?

Mine did something like this, turned out to be the ignition moduel was going bad.
