I am shooting a movie this june and am wondering how I can acheive the look of december? The story takes place in a smaller, mountain-type of town. I am mostly concerned with the lighting being too bright or too harsh, as when I think of winter in the mountains I see softer lighting, maybe overcast.. Any help or ideas are appreciated!

Summer for Winter?

My main concern would be lack of steam, as people talk. Or is the setting not cold enough that that should happen?
You gonna be shooting up in the San Bernadino mountains, perchance?
Any chance part of those mountains get routine heavy fog layers?
Relying on weather is a PITA, but if you could find something more like that, then shooting for a de-saturated look, and shooting in the early AM when moisture is high and the sun is low, might actually get you what you need.
Hmm, Santa Cruz mtns. Sorry I thought we were talking San Bernadino Mtns like mentioned before. That pic (not mine) is from Marin County (Muir Woods). You might have to head north to get a good marine layer to hide under. Summer weather in Santa Cruz (iirc) isn't as variable as it is along the Marin/Sonoma/Mendocino coasts.
