Could someone please help me to learn how to make a transparent pane for my window so that it looks like, from the inside, that snow is falling outside, but on the outside, it is just clear? I'd be more that willing to pay to learn how.
Cheers!

It's actually very easy. If you have a "SNOW" texture, just apply that texture to the one side of the window that is inside and animate it with a script. If you would like some help, IM me in world.

Well I sort of accidentally stumbled upon this. What I did was hard I deleted most of the white back ground but the easier is the following Before you put your window layer in put in white gradient layer at 50% or whatever looks right percent above your main transparent layer add noise to white layer then add window then save as web for png or if you know as a alpha tga file Window pane edges I use shape tools with different colors and effect layers. This won't be animated but it will look like snow or frost stuck on windows. There is also another way to animate it all as one texture but its bit complex and I haven't yet figured out how to do the animation layer built in yet or how to do the script for it, Usually have a friend help with that part. But you could do another seprate texture transparent layer with white gradient or with noise or draw snow flakes in then use smooth animation script on so it looks like there is moving layer and stuck layer but this may cause some transparent distortions possibly having 2 transparent layers lined up behind each other. If you need more assistance let me know. I use older version of adobe.

Particles...

You might want to use a particle script, instead. Generate small snowflakes and have them drift gently toward the ground.
Then, in the spring, and can generate pollen, and in the fall it can generate leaves.
There are ones in your Inventory that make mist for waterfalls and hot tubs. Try changing one of those. They are somewhat self explanatory, and a good place to start learning about scripts.

I have a 1-prim snow generator with a gentle script. I'll pass you a copy later today.
