Noch makes some powdered snow that you could try to get. Walthers is out, but I'm sure this stuff can be found somewhere...

Welcome to the-gauge!
Charlie posted a great winter scene in the December Photo Contest . He also gave us the recipe:

I use an acrylic product called "No Fire Snow". It's found WalMart and in any good crafts store in the section where ceramic paints are found. It looks like paint with fine sand mixed in and builds up mounds real well. That combined with drifts made of cheap painter's caulk and plain white craft paint has given me a durable snow scene that touches up very easily when dinged by my 2 1/2 year old son.
I have some powdered marble in a bottle. I don't remember the name of the manufacturer, but if you can find some, a little sprinkled on top of your snow gives it a bit of "sparkle."

I just received the Dec. issue of Model Rail and they have an article on making snow. Their problem was that every time they tried to fix it in position it either melted or discoloured.
Check photos of track in snow. If there is just a small amount (not over a couple of inches), the ties will be clear (but wet) and the ballast will have snow on it.
