"winterizing" maps

Hi,
this is probably more a generic graphics question than specific to GIMP but does anyone know any good links to tutorials, or have any experience of taking top down graphical maps (stylised) and changing them from a "summer" palette to a winter one. I've tried just changing the HSB to get a grey blue overall look but it looks a bit over the top, I'd like to do something a bit more sophisticated perhaps altering different features of the maps in different ways

"winterizing" maps

- For a start, your plants and trees would have no foliage. They would be sticks.
- Roofs would have snow on them as would your whole background. - You would only see buildings defined largely because of the shadows they cast.
- Roads would be defined by ploughed snow banks. The surfaces would be white unless salted and ploughed.

Trust me—I live in Canada.
