Go to the "Video," and under the "Mask," let's select the "Square" mask. Change "Scale" to 71, "Width" to 100, and Y value to 725. Increase "Blur Strength" to 70 and "Radius" to 60. Then turn on "Invert Mask."

For the Snow effect, we will apply the "BCC Fast Lens Blur" effect to track 2 clips. Change the "Iris Scale" to 0.3, then apply the "Glow" effect to the same clip. Change glow "Opacity" to 50%. Go back to the video and change "Blending Mode" to "Lighten." Now you can see we have a bit of a blue sky in the background.
To give it a real touch, duplicate track 2 clip on track 3. Now, to create a fog at a distance, which normally happens during the snowfall. Now go to the "Mask" and change "Scale" to 78.8, Y value to 400. Here, we have a fog at a distance, change "Blur Strength" to 20.5 and "Radius" to 44. You can set the Y value accordingly, making the environment foggier. Play with "Blur Strength" and check which value is better.

Then, under "Color," change "Exposure" to 100, "Highlight" to -100, "Shadow" to -70, "White" and "Black" to -100. In the "Video" section, adjust "Opacity" accordingly. Then go to the "Effects," change "Glow," "Radius" to 2, "Opacity" to 40. Delete the "BCC Fast Lens Blur" effect. Change "Tint," "Saturation" to a 100, "Brightness" to a 100. Under the "Color," turn on the "Curve" and change the Alpha line as we're doing. Now again, do some color adjustments according to your needs and adjust the opacity.
Then apply the "Detail by Chroma" effect on Track 4. Go to "Effects," choose green color, increase the range to 50, and strength to 58. Then, apply the "Color EQ" effect to it. Choose the color to white, change the "Range" to 92, "Fade" to 66, "Soften" to 50, "Saturation" to 53, "Brightness" to -19, and "Contrast" to 100.
Next, let's make the environment hazier. Go to the "Sample Color" and apply a solid white color on track 5. Change "Blending Mode" to "Screen." Go to the "Mask," select double line, and rotate the double line by 90 degrees. Change Y value to 570 "Blur Strength" to 70.
Now, go to the "Stickers" and apply the "Snowfall 03" clip on track 6. Go to the "Speed" and change the speed to 1.50, duplicated on the same track.
Finally, apply the "Auto Enhance" effect to increase "Amount" to a 100. Now, select Track 2 clip; from this clip, you can control the intensity of snow in your clip. Now, let's render it to see the final preview.

Afterward, in the "Video" tab from the right-side panel, change the "Blending Mode" to "Lighten" to add a blue wintery sky in the background. To further give a realistic look, duplicate the clip on another track.
Create a Foggy Effect at a Distance
While working on the duplicated track 3, go to the "Mask" tab in the "Video" option and change the values in the “Rotate,” “Scale,” and “Position” settings. Proceed to manage the "Blur Strength" and "Radius" options until you see a perfect foggy effect in your video.

Duplicate Video and Make Adjustments
Now, to move further, duplicate the clip present on the third track onto a new track. Change the "Blend Mode" to “Normal” and tweak the "Opacity" settings of these clips. Afterward, remove the "Mask" from the new track and play with other “Color,” “Video,” and “Effects” settings according to the requirements.
In addition to that, remove the "BCC Fast Lens Blur" effect and further alter the "Tint" saturation and brightness settings to the required value.
Adjust the Alpha Line Curve and Apply the Chroma Effect
