Ah young dwarfling.
This is easy to fix.
When the dwarves walk up from the caverns and into the snow, the extract is "cleaned" from them as if they had walked into water, and is left as a containment on the ground.
Thats how it got there, now to get rid of it:
Constructed floors, or roads, under a roof. That's all. You just need to get rid of the snow and it'll solve itself. You might need to deconstruct and replace the traps after building a floor though.
Only way your going to manage it without hacking. I suggest in future you rig up your caverns with cleaning troughs (1 z level deep dips filled with 2 depth water) that the dwarves have to walk through between access to the cavern and the main fort. Behind several well placed animal proofed doors and restriction zones mind. And you'll still need foot coverings, but this system also doubles up as a good way to save you dwarven lives.
