Thanks David!

Having asked this question I eventually found a great tutorial by 'fencepost' 
on gimpdome, using GIMP-GAP. It worked, but the 'snowfall' was a bit fine for 
my pic. I wanted big fat flakes rather than a blizzard! I'm working on that. 
Thanks for your help. The tutorial I used included a lot of what you suggested! 
It's here:
