Help please! Need winter themed, non-holiday/X-mas stamps
I'm in desperate need of some new winter stamps! I'm so sick of the few I do have! But the trick is, I need ones that aren't related to Xmas or Hanukkah or any holidays. I'm looking for vintage or shabby in style, not cute. Snowflakes and snowmen are good but I'd prefer something else. Like maybe kids playing in the snow or a snow scene like a house or town (no church)?
And I really need a 'let it snow' stamp so if that sentiment was in there, even more awesome! I don't mind if the set has an Xmas sentiment or two in there, that's pretty much a given. But I'd really like some that aren't. I don't even use 'happy holidays'. I could also use a let it snow stamp on its own if anyone knows of that. Oh, and I'm not a fan of Nordic style stamps and I already have a 'built a snowman' set. I don't mean to sound so picky but I'd feel bad if someone went to the trouble of looking up a stamp or set that I can't/won't use.

Oooh, extra thought - the Crafty Secrets Sweet Kids set has a lovely image of a child sledding through a snowy landscape. It's a set with images for each season so it would be a case of deciding whether you'd use the others during the year but it has a nice vintage feel. Crafty Secrets has basically gone digital but it looks as if this set it still available and it's half price!
I made a shaker ornament with this image a while back that turned out very cute. It's here on my blog if you're interested (the shaker idea with this image might be cute on a card, too).
It's a single stamp rather than a set but the Snowy Postcard stamp by Stampendous might suit your vintage/shabby yearnings.
I'm afraid that one didn't work because of the holly, too Xmas-y. It was so pretty tho and just the right style! Fortunately, since your link wa to many winter stamps, I found several others that worked perfectly! Thank you

The sweet n sassy one is awesome and not even a hint of Xmas! I love the Digital Two site. I'm not a huge digi user but these are sure prices right!! Haha!

Another vote for Northwoods, they always have lots of winter scenes. Here is a sample board from their latest catalog. The catelog is done in time order so you have to keep scrolling thru to the end. Alternate Board 5
100 Proof Press has a few:
Skiers going down snowy slope - Snow Skiing
woodland scene - Bunnies in the Woods
There are a few more as well if you like their style and want to do some looking around, including 2 stamps of kids in snow suits. One is a little girl and the other is a little boy.

Wow, thanks for so many suggestions. I'm hesitant to order northwoods because I'm paying for wood I won't use. And with the size of my faves, I'm sure it will cost a lot to ship. But I appreciate all the stamps people have listed. I found some polymer ones I really like.
I am looking for images to colour except snowflakes which of course won't be coloured. But I'm not opposed to solid images either.
