Snow weather effects

Trying to make a snowy area and saw a weird problem. The snow effect in Rpg Maker VX? It's too damn hard to see. Almost unnoticable against the snow! Which I guess might make sense but doesn't make it a cool weather effect to use in a RPG. What else can I use? I don't want to do the annoying snowstorm mist they had in the Eternal Eden game. That dungeon was way too hard to see in in a totally bad way

If you use RPg maker too you might want to check this out --- Sg and the gameclover guys justed a huge vegetable icon collection! Awesome. I'm going to replace potions with edible fruits and vegetables that heal you instead.
