I believe the answer is:

sown

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scattered on the ground' is the definition.
'sown' can be an answer for 'scattered' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'on the ground' bit.

'drifting snow' is the wordplay.
'drifting' is an anagram indicator.
'snow' is an anagram of 'SOWN'.

'like' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sown that I've seen before include "(Of seeds) planted" , "set out to grow" , "Placed in ground as seed" , "Broadcast" , "(Of seed) planted" .)
