@ Henry Blewer the snow shader is actually a file from dandelO, adapted a bite and with a second shader over it which to me seems to be a good general set up for many things.
@ masonspappy Actually I'm in the Charlotte area, down near Monroe. It was mostly ice this way I think we saw all of about 5 flakes to which some neighborhood kid screamed his head off in excitement

I wish it had actually looked like this, that's why it was just "inspired" ... here's to hoping we get a little bit of the real stuff this week though, the weather man is calling for more.
