I don't have such a background but I know of a filter you could use to help you make a winter picture out of your summer picture (apart from the snowflakes and snowscape by Adrenaline). I use Xeroset filter 'Seasons' to colorize parts of the images (trees, sky, etc.) from one season to the other and it works fine in most cases.
