I tried something on the snow covered houses. My first attempt was a little too blue but I added it for comparison.
What do you think of it so far? Know that I have never done anything like this before.
Looks cool

I'm wondering what Santa looks like in Australia? Does he wear shorts and sunglasses?
Haha, a Santa-wetsuit!

Interesting! Please make an image of how it would look ingame, e.g. pasting the image on a snowy background (if the snow looks too much like KaM snow you might not see the roof
).
Btw I love the ice hanging down above the entrance.

You should match the style of the game (snow), pay attention to how it is drawen there, also I would suggest to seperate secrtions of snow between each tile of the roof to give it the feeling that there is a roof and give the feel of the shape of the roof.
Like The Dark Lord said, it shouldn't match the snow too well, as you might not see the roof. I should put this storehouse ingame to see if it fits or not.
I could give sepperating the roof tiles a try
Thanks

I was trying to put this storehouse ingame, but I had no idea on how to do this

You don't have to exchange files or something to see how it would look; since it is a transparent image you could take a screenshot of a snowy area and simply paste the storehouse on it. It won't be as good as possible but probably good enough to see if it fits.

Looks nice: )
What do you think of removing part of the snow from roof to let see part of original tiles?

Yes, I was thinking of that too, like that a part of the roof had already melted away/was too steep to have a lot of snow on it.
I think it's a good idea because it won't all look too snowy, and a little color of the roofs will make it better.
I managed to place the storehouse on a KaM picture, I think it doesn't fit very well
I'll have to match the colors and texture a little bit more

The roof blends in with terrain too much IMO, leaving part of it uncovered will surely look better. By the way, Warcraft2 had some snowy roof I remember.

Yes, it's a bit too much. But I'm impressed, I'm sure it will work out okay.

No I think it should be a little scattered, like the cameoflage colours on soldiers' outfits.

Is possible
But what Krom said is actually true, snow won't normally stay put on such steep rooftops.
There must be a way to let it look naturally and make it fit within KaM.

Scattered all over the roofs? or colors?
something like this? I just added some more snow to the tower roofs
