We got into Kodiak and you could see a storm not far off; we turned as quick as we could. By time the door was closed we were in heavy snow. It was 2C with dew point -3 and about 25 kt wind. PIC did a contamination check while I was paying for gas. I got in and we taxied out. I told him I want to do a contamination check when we get out to the runway; he said I could go back in the cabin and do a visual inspection. I told him that I would be getting out of the plane to check the wings and he grudgingly said Fine you work it out with ATC. Now it's been snowing heavy for about 8 minutes. We get to the end of the runway I told ATC what I was doing and they said sure. I go out and there is about a 1/4 of wet snow sitting on the wing and leading edge; and it is sticking in some places on the leading edge. The wind is pretty strong and it's accumulating on the wings. I get back inside and tell him about the wet snow sticking. He says brush it off. He has a problem with the misalign heading flag (they are right at the limit) and wants me to slew it over.  Then this is the conversation:Me: Lets talk about the wet snow on the wings; I don't care about the heading.Him: Its fine; I did a check before I don't see a problem.Me: Its WET SNOW on the wings.Him: (My name)! Please; I'm PIC and I don't see a problem with it; it's not an issue let's go now before it gets worse.
HS125 First Officer reported the Captain did not share his concern with wet snow sticking to the wing during taxi out at Kodiak.
