I think the snow is the real answer. Almost certainly filmed in Vancouver.

Pine Barrens is my favorite episode, no question. I loved seeing Leotardo's face getting plowed. Bobby dying was the saddest part of the show for me. I loved that character for the series duration.

I liked how Tony kills Christopher, then keeps reiterating to everyone about the babyseat and how if the baby was in the car, she would have died, like he was trying to justify suffocating Christopher to anybody with ears.

To believe that “nothing happened” or “Life goes on” is in direct contrast to the structure of all six seasons. The show was, while complex in the amount of detail and depth of character, pretty classic story-telling. When Chase did wallow in ambiguity, it was only for peripheral matters or the ending was there but the audience just failed to see it. Take the famous Russian Valery in the “Pine Barrens,” the episode wasn’t really about him or his ultimate fate, it was about Paulie and Christopher’s deteriorating relationship
