Thanks! :-) That’s what I was going for.

As for the mix of plain-white and snow tiles: since my inventory is pretty stretched, I didn’t want to buy that many new tiles. Reusing some of my stored white tiles was intended to alleviate some of the strain, but it does work quite well.

As for “taking a break” from shoveling: the Public Works Dept. of my village has a very powerful union, and the mayor didn’t want to spring for double overtime (after hours on a weekend!).

(The union shop also built the two wooden walkway sections using two different patterns, BTW.)

The residential neighborhood (with the museum district downtown) is my favorite — and most carefully designed — part of the village. The commercial district to the northwest is merely utilitarian, and the market district with the more lowbrow seasonal attractions to the east changes too frequently to make expensive design feasible. The other neighborhoods — Gemstone Alley and the Lake/Golden District are still in flux.
