Overcast and light flurries were forecasted. You have to look very closely to see the snow falling due to the dull sky. This photo was taken in colour and wasn't changed to BW so you can see how dull it was.

Brrrr.... Tonal range you have captured definitely conveys a distinct feeling. However, I'm not sure the off-level horizon works very well. (While the tree in the foreground appears perfect, I find the buildings in the distance to be somewhat distracting due to their not being level.) Just my opinion, though!
Very pretty picture. The tree looks vertical but the horizon is slanted to the left. If the horizon and the fence lines were parrrallel to the bottom edge, I feel it would have been a more pleasing to the senses. I also thiink a little more of the fore ground would have added a sense of what the weather was like.
I'm glad you pointed out that it's not black & white. I forgot how dreary it gets up there sometimes. Nice balance in this photo. The tree and fence stand out well with the objects in the background.
Have you had tons of people commenting on the fact that the horizon is off and would be a better photo if you made sure it was parallel to the bottom of the frame? Even so, the picture has great atmosphere and reminds me why I now live where there is no real winter. :)
Good idea to point out this is a colour shot - you could definitely miss that! Pretty grey place then hey? Effective shot (if kinda depressing :) ). 7.
