It's good to have a "full-coverage" fly that extends to ground on all sides including door. Available snow is banked around the edges for added warmth.

Many 3-season tents have such flies, but many don't.

Full-blown, "4-season" tents are really nice on top of ice-caps & such places, but are typically overkill if you can locate sheltered sites in the forest.
