This'll be a good fit with any rustic American, European or Australian setting.
I've sent the PDFs to my quality-assurance guy and will be working on the 3D mockups today.
It's likely that I'll release the PSD packs before the PDF version is complete, so keep an eye out for that.

More work on snow textures. And believe it or not, this is the first time I've used black half-timbered beams.  |

I like a lot more the second image than the first...
... snow reflect blueish light, so the first one looks a bit too red to me.
The second one instead have the right tone and that "low saturation" of a cloudy day, with grey sky, which follow a night of snow.
Great.

To me, (and I've seen 44 Canadian winters) there is too much blue in the shadows. Either the line is too thick or the shade is too light. Maybe a bit of both?
The snow on the beam above the windows looks better than the stuff on the window frame or sill.
The 1st image you posted is actually not bad for a building that has been "splashed" with snow, by a passing sled for instance. Snow doesn't generate deep shadows until it is overhanging itself quite a bit.

You're looking at them here about 2x actual size. At print size, the snow's going to need that exaggerated depth and shading just to look kind of natural. Otherwise it just looks like a sprinkling of flour.

BTW Dave I zoomed out on your WIP image above and you were right. At that size the amount of blue is just right  |
