on the green channel used color range >midtone selection and filled with white on a new layer
step 3 of 10
used small soft brush to paint in extra snow

For the snow I used the noise technique (also used for space & rain)
1. fill layer with black

3. filter guassain blur
4. adjust levels

set snowfall layer to screen and achieved this effect
