I just realized something. Winter's Schnevermores were summonings. Was dust really involved in that? (I know the blades glowed but still...) So either no Dust was involved (and was just her semblance) or Weiss has the same type of Dust/Dusts as her sister.

Second point: According to the commentary Winter has a dust crystal in each sword. The wording makes it sound like there are two different types.

Theory time: Winter uses both water and another Dust to make steam. One in each sword. I don't think we've seen the other dust but let's say it's fire. Water and fire make steam (and it's used as a medium for her semblance). Weiss has both blue (water), white (wind) and red (fire) Dust types. Water and wind make her signature ice attacks while water and fire make her steam summoning.
