Snow settles on the branches of a tree. You can add a Distributed Mass to the surfaces and turn on Gravity to simulate the load that snow applies to the branches, but there is no accumulation on vertical branches.  You can assign a directional pressure to all the surfaces to represent the wind pressure.
