True. How often do we see outside, though? (I've seen none of season 3, and only about half of season 2.)

Now that I think about it, most shows set in mid-Atlantic states don't have much snow, or much winter. I guess it would be kind of difficult to get that sort of March snow, where it's not snowing anymore, but there are still clumps of dirty snow on the ground.

TV snow is always freshly fallen powder that gets miraculously plowed before any of the characters need to go outside. (Unless it's some sort of "trapped by snow" bottle episode, in which case it's a blizzard we only see through the window.)

Yes- dirty, gross old half melted snow with dog pee in it is rarer than outer space with no noise.

I seem to remember St. Elsewhere being sort of good about at least some outside shots of slushy, dirty plowed snow, though. Unless I'm hallucinating again.

Yeah, it's never really inconvenient or making them get, like, muffled.(i.e. overcoats and shit) Which even I in the desert know is completely wrong. the thing that killed me last year was the black Mormon. I never thought that was very likely. Thought maybe Jehovah's Witness would be just as good for the zingers and so forth.

I think ER is pretty good about it too, IIRC, if mostly confined to brief scenes on the El platform.

ER also does it in their ambulance bay.

Only Mormon that ever proselytised to me was a very good looking black guy. Didn't work, but I didn't hate the attempt.

Yeah, ER sometimes has the fluffy falling snow, but they also get the gross slush, and people wearing cold-weather clothing even when it's not snowing.

(I'm watching the House marathon from USA this afternoon, Tivoed. If I'm figuring this right, the ep I just watched was supposed to be in November. House and Chase went outside, wearing regular long-sleeved clothes, and it was bright and sunny and they didn't seem cold. The ep I just started watching, they referred to the previous one as "last week," and there's now snow outside.)

(I get way too nitpicky when I watch marathons like this. Also, Hugh Laurie keeps mispronouncing "Plainsboro.")

Wowzie, when did Dylan become a toddler? A BIG, friggin' cute toddler, btw.

Speaking of TV temps I always liked how appropriately sweaty the Dexter folks were.
