    Wow...don't see very many snow scenes! Nice weathering, especially on that NYC box. Excellent photos.

    Thanks Jerry, I wanted snow in a downtown industrial environment to recreate a cold 60's/70's feel

    I just finished reading your blog posts the other day, great to see a couple pictures of what you've got going on. The snow certainly looks excellent, and the weathering does wonders to add to that 'grunge' feeling you're after, especially when contrasting it with the pure white blanket. How much vegetation are you going to have poking through the snow-or is it a really thick coating?

    Wont be any vegetation apart from the odd bit of bush, the area is totally dirt and tarmac (believe it or not it is underneath!) Cleveland gets whats called lake effect snow off lake Erie and wanted to model it

    My first reaction, after thinking it looked cold, was a quick look out the window to reassure myself it was actually July.
