The snow is the star

True!

As intense as the early episodes were with the Big Snowstorm and everything around that, sealing up the town, I kept getting distracted from the plot and lost concentration sometimes.

Why? Because I kept wondering how they were filming in that level of snow storm that (coincidentally?) seemed to be happening as they were filming the..well...major snowstorm. Did the crew sit around and wait until a weather condition that would look VERY bad on camera came along? Though, as stated, during February that might not be a very long wait! :-))

It seems there is only so much you can do with CGI. But scene after scene for almost two hours of content were filmed outdoors in conditions that seemed utterly impossible for a crew and cameras to operate.

How did they DO it? Again, it seemed so real and I was unable to spot CGI if that's how they did it. (Just the avalanche maybe, but not the town conditions.)

I wondered if the show would have been quite so good had it been filmed in a warmer drier location. There is no doubt that the locale played a big part in bringing a unique atmosphere to it...and that music, some of which sounded like a wounded bagpipe.

It was ironic that Andri and Liefur were having to face an icy death, not from the elements but fron artificial freezing in a fish factory
