Hi Jason,
I don't know which paint you use, but when I want to make a worn winter look, I always start with a base coat of Tamiya XF12 JN grey, and I use plain XF2 White to highlight it.
Afterwards some subtle washes, and done.....
Just my two cents, John.

pencil is a good material to use. It's another form of pastel.
You can also experiment with alternate colors - try some blue shadowing.
