Now you know why we like living in snow country. Nice to see you all having a great time in the storm. We say that if you live in Montana, you have to find something you enjoy doing outside in the winter or you cannot live here very long.

Steven Hale 2 years ago

I liked the video but IMHO the music was completely wrong. Just didn't fit. If the video was a "10," the music was a "1." There's a lot of joy in the snow condition and you captured that.
Michael DeAngelis 2 years ago

Regarding the music - What is the legality about using copyrighted material like that song? I was under the impression that in this type of work/video you need either the creator of the music's permission or non-copyrighted music? True? No?

for those of us who are no strangers to snow like this, some would see it as same old stuff. But it truly re-awoke the beauty of the season for me. Sometimes you forget the little things. Thank you

You have captured the moments superbly. Plus you showed what a bunch of saps we are in the UK; we get a couple of inches of snow and everything goes to the dogs.
