Hey George,
Suggestion for future issues. I like snow and there have been a lot of questions and some scripts regarding it. How about some coverage of every aspect of this -a snow mega pack. Maybe over multiple issues as you did with the game with a complete interactive collection of scripts that covers all aspects by the end of the series. Some have been touched on and might be variations of stuff you've done before.
-Snow fall script, blizzard/whiteout, light/heavy etc
-Foot prints/puffs of snow when walking
-Snow accumulation (maybe using growing meshes, switching textures or even deforming mesh as in this past issue).
-Growing icicles
-Freezing water effect (like small pond)
-Snow on tree
-Vapor from breathing
-Snow drifts (http://www.coniserver.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB3&Number=547583&Searchpage=1&Main=520698&Words=snow&topic=&Search=true#Post547583)
-Driving snow - in an interview of flight simulator I believe someone discussed a way to create the illusion of snow streaking towards the camera against forward motion of plane. The users two overlapping cone models with the wide end at the camera lens and each had an animated snow texture so it looked like snow was blowing past on either side fast.
-etc
Thanks for your wonderful work.
