Yes we had a little snow but not enough to make great photos. I think I would try to offset the main tree a little to bring in the thirds rule unless either side was not too nice. Not a bad photo at all.
I get cold when the temperature here in California hits 55°F. This shot makes me shiver and reminds me of why I left Illinois. Beautiful presentation in black and white. Makes it look even bleaker. Two image related comments: the colored flag would be a nice touch in a different photo but detracts from the mood of this shot. Also you might consider taking a few steps back to include the entire tree.
