Elk and Snow | Snow Effect in PSE

HI Everyone!
I want to show you something that inspired me so much I had to give it a try!

How to create a snow effect in PSE!
I found the step by step instructions from Jill Wellington @ This is Life? She is an awesome photographer and always has tips to share. So make sure to stop by her blog to find out how to create the effect. Plus more!

The photo was taken at the Baton Rouge zoo which explains the fence in the background.
We rarely experience snow, so I imagined this is what it could look like if it were to snow here. 

This is SOOC.
