Sony HDR-Z5U Snow Footage

Not sure if this is the right place, so mods please move (or tell me where & i'll delete & repost)....

We had a "big" snow (read: 3 inches) in Atlanta last Friday (2/12) and had my cam in the car with me, so I put together this quick clip. I mainly wanted to test some custom settings and DOF. On the auto settings, I couldn't see the snow falling. Here's what I ended up with:

+6db gain
1/1000 shutter
manual focus (wear glasses, so if it's blurry, i blame the smudges on my glasses )

I forgot to cut the audio out, so it's still there from the cam.

Constructive feedback wanted & welcomed.

I got some footage of those flakes as well since we don't normally get it in so called "Hot 'Lanta".

I was in the store fighting for the milk and bread too but didn't film that...
