Please let me know what I could have done different if anything in these bad conditions.
Thanks

Straighten it; play with the white and black points in post-processing; work out whether you really want that tree just there in frame, and whether if you do how much of it you want - i'd recommend using one of the fenceposts as foreground to fame that scene; is it flash illuminating the snowflakes? Doesn't help for me - not enough snow to look other than a problem. There are graphic elements in that scene that could have contributed to a great photograph - those posts, the little bridge/jetty thing, the very sexy curve of the shore leading to the stand of trees, and to complement it, the far shore of the lake fading into the grey: think about balancing those elements to lead the eye around and through the image.
Another alternative would be simply to take three paces or so to the left, and crop below the spread of that tree, to use the straight trucnk of the tree to balance the interst of the shore-line, and to add impact to the fading of the far shore in front of which it would stand.
I also think you could expose a stop or so more - the snow is pretty grey - but I don't think you've actually lost anything you couldn't recover in PS.
Another idea (sorry to go on so): get some really warm clthing so you can bear to stay out there longer :-) A lot of great photos involve getting really cold and uncomfortable.
