Supposedly set in the Los Angeles/Southern California area a lot of snow is seen on the ground in many of the scenes.
Canadian location is seriously evident in this episode with all the snow every where. The last time it snowed in Los Angeles, where this is supposed to be, was in 1962. This episode doesn't qualify for that time frame.
When Macguyver is first thrown in jail, he yells that he wants his shoe laces. Next couple of scenes, he is seen wearing them.
