It's snowing today...sadly not the beautiful powdery, dry snow of the Alps but the wet, slush of Edinburgh! However it has inspired me to look into any tarot cards that may depict snow.
5 of Pentacles often has snow. The imagery of snow deals with being "out in the cold," isolation, and exposure to harsh conditions. However, anyone who has stepped outside just after a fresh snow can tell you the beauty is stunning. Clean, crystalline, and quiet. These are also symbolic qualities of snow.
When the flakes fall in your eyes it is a matter of perspective - we can either see the snow as isolation or we can see it as a fresh clean blanket - waiting for us to make a few snow angels in it.
I found this stunning looking deck Fantastical Creatures Tarot
and the Death card has this snowy scene with Fenris-Wolf.
The The Fairytale Tarot
has The Chariot with the Snow Queen, which is very wintery and highlights the cold, arrogant aspect of this card in readings.
The Viking Tarot depict the pips in a seasonal order and here is the Queen of Chalices.
