Selections invert and duplicate your background layer twice, renaming your layers Snow 1,2 & 3.

On your first snow layer apply the following Vanderlee/Snowflakes.
 

Apply the same settings to your next snow layer and randomize. Apply again to your last snow layer hitting and randomize again. Select none. If you decide not to animate your tag, then just skip the duplicate twice and snow steps.
