How hard would it be to mock-up the snow in an animated GIF?  I mean,
the email's already going to be bloated if the marketriods want to embed
a Java applet.  No, it wouldn't have that "random" effect, but the point
you're trying to get across is that you have a $20 daily rental rate,
not that your snow has an advanced "falling" algorithm.  That, and if
they were going for realism, they'd have that lightweight Sunfire
spinning out on the icy roads :)
