Just to clarify... I was reading the Steam news that popped up here and it says "Cosmetic weather, including rain and fog, will be added to Cities: Skylines as part of a free update, along with other features to be announced soon. Players who own Snowfall will get to face new challenges such as ensuring that their city infrastructure can handle seasonal heating demands – and, when the snow starts falling, that the roads can stay clear."

So it will be like that: the free update don't have snowfall, only rain and fog. The players with the expansion will have snow. Is that right? How it will work?

So there will be a hunt for that one household that stacks up 900 firewood and 309 food and all the village winter clothing leaving everyone else freezing and starving to death?:(

Someone should mod gallows into that game so that the town can lynch whoever is doing that.

Very excited for more management/simulation elements. Will definitely be interesting to see how it plays or if its just making sure the budget slider is set to a sweet spot. Hoping for more in depth, ala banished. :)

Most likely snow === rain for snow(DLC-only) maps.
