I need help! I have a "snow" section in my game and I can't think of things to put in the environment. Right now it just looks like a barren wasteland of white. I don't want to put NPCs like animals or snowmen or anything. I just need environmental features. Any suggestions would be VERY much appreciated.

Have you played Romancing SaGa III? The Snow Town and Ice Galaxy sprites might provide some inspiration:

Wow. Those are beautiful. Now I have brain freeze AND an inferiority complex. Really though, those did help get the ball rolling. Thanks for the help. I'll post some screens once I get them up to snuff.

just an idea, but why not (if this is something you want) use the top layer for a snowing tile. Remember to make it fairly light (fairly small snow drops) so as not to interfer with the players view of the game world.
Check out the snow field on VoM, thats a great one to look at too.
