See also if you can get a copy of Model Railroader's 2010 Great Model Railroads special issue. It was on news stands the end of last year through January of this year. Maybe some hobby shops carry back issues. It has a shelf layout by Mike Confalone set in late Winter/early Spring. He used compressed white floral styrofoam to represent patches of melting snow piles. He painted them with brown and gray washes to make them look dirty. Seemed very effective!
