Nathan Kress And Ashley Argota Get Snowed On In October

Yesterday, the northeastern states were hit with a surprising amount of snow. In the middle of it all were Nathan Kress (in Connecticut) and Ashley Argota and her musician/actor friend Abi Ann Hoffman (in New York), who posted pictures of their encounters with the snow.

Ashley tweeted:

We’ve been braving the snowy NYC streets all day

And while Nathan was having a blast in the snow at first, it might be causing him some troubles:

Okay, we’re watching the Weather Channel. Not digging this snow as much any more… haha we might be having an extended stay here in CT

Did it snow in your hometown? How strange is it to be making snow angels for Halloween?

While much of Big Time Rush‘s new movie “Big Time Movie” is being filmed in Vancouver, BC Canada, director Savage Steve Holland chose to film a group of scenes in Victoria, BC Canada, at the Fairmont Empress Hotel, Hatley Castle at Royal Roads University, and Victoria’s Chinatown.

James Maslow, Logan Henderson, Carlos Pena, and Kendall Schmidt have been having a blast filming the movie and seeing the sights they might not normally get to see when shooting on a stage.

James was most excited by the castle, tweeting:

My new castle. Check it. Anybody recognize it? Perhaps from a famous movie? Xoxo, JM

In fact, other than “Big Time Movie,” many large movies and television shows have been shot at or around Hatley Castle, with roles including Lex Luthor’s estate in “Smallville” and Professor Xavier’s school in the “X-Men” films.
