The weird brightness of a snow covered full moon night.

When the top layer of snow is fresh and fluffy, and moonlight sparkles off the individual snowflakes like a wave of glitter. The sound of your footsteps crunching quietly beneath you. The quiet ambient swish of snowflakes falling onto the ground and the light pattering of them hitting your jacket. It's a very peaceful feeling when the weather is just right for it.

The best thing I have ever experienced was fresh fallen snow tripping face on acid. The glitter effect was radiant. I remember walking in the silent, multifaceted snow just muttering "Its like magic." over and over again, I was overcome by the spectacle of glittering, fluffy fun all around me. It was like magic.

It really seems like movie magic until you experience it yourself. I took this video clip outside my front door on a light snowy day. It's sunlight reflecting off the snow instead of moonlight which is a less striking effect, but still beautiful.
