Paul, I read a tutorial recently in a British magazine last week. "Digital Camera World May 2004, page 084, "How to add realistic looking snowfall using Paintshop Pro" also "How to add falling rain effects" The sample building they use is a pub shot in flat drizzly looking light. I agree with Mick that you would need to shoot under appropriate light, a bright sunny day is definitely not a goer. I vaguely remember a tute not that long ago in the pro Aussie mag "Design Graphics" but I can't find it at the moment. The effect in my opinion is not believable unless its small sized or on the net. For the amount of work involved the sprinkles on the photo print is probably a better effect. I have created simulated falling snow in front of the lens during exposure of a 3D subject, decorated wintery Xmas tree during Aussie summer, in the studio by spraying canned Santa Snow into the air during exposure. This gives you the nice blurry falling snow effect. It was a bit hit or miss so you don't under or overdo it and also get an even spread, but with digital it would be far easier to check results.
Good Luck!
