so, darcey, this has been churning away now for about 90 minutes now.ok at the snow inside? yes, indeed! wow, check this out! look at that snow. i can tell you, that is soft and fluffy and freezing cold. it feels just like real snow. is it exactly the same as naturally occurring snow? it's exactly the same as natural snow. so once you've made all of this snow here, how do you transport it to a film set? we literally shovel it into a refrigerated truck and we set the temperature at the perfect temperature to keep it in top condition. and do people tend to like to use more real snow or fake snow? they think they want to use real snow, but fake snow is faster and warmer. you can imagine, if you lie on this all day you'll get pneumonia. but if you lie in the fake snow all day, it's lovely and warm and cosy. thank you so much for showing us around and showing us how this snow is manufactured here. right, for now, where is nick? heavy snow in february led to avalanches in afghanistan and the french alps, both resulting in several fatalities. sarah thornton tr
