If you watch the video, and pause at around 18 seconds (as opposed to looking at the mediocre screen provided above), you can see, to the right of the screen, that there is a small amount of snow on top of some of the branches of one or two of the pine trees there. Might I also point out that whilst that fog looks spectacular, it also seems to be somewhat fantastical, id est, a more romantic than realistic representation of a pine forest, much like the pg.48 screen. The LOD also looks none too dissimilar to the glimpses of it we have seen in screenshots thus far (notably pg.51), and neither do the trees themselves (pg.48 again). This, coupled with Pete Hines' comments make it quite possible that this is a screenshot and not a photo.
