Texturing snow onto a tree

[soulburn3d]

I'd probably use real geometry as opposed to a texture, since the snow would probably want some volume too it (unless it's a really light dusting). Try some particles set to blobbies or metaparticles or whatever your package of choice calls for. Drop them on the tree and have them stick to the branches. Then apply a snow material to them, this tutorial may help with ideas...
