I've checked quite a few places for snow cover and I don't see any.  I have used the recommended meteoblue site https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/webmap/beta/range-regional-airport_united-states-of-america_5021092#coords=6.81/61.038/-148.59&map=snowDepth~hourly~auto~sfc~none

as a reference for snow cover.

For example: anchorage alaska shows 1.5 feet of snow.  I load up at an airport and no snow using live weather.  I have tried loading a themed weather and then back to live as people have suggested.  I have even tried several different server locations but no difference. 

Edit: I just spawned at a random place in greenland.......and its green......

Why?

where can I see snow right now?

I landed at Juneau Alaska yesterday, there was some snow on the runway and around the airport. can't cover all the runway markings. One mile visibility and heavy rain, looked ok. Kmsp may have some,

Just flew into KMSP and was impressed.  When it's not snowing it looks like anything under 1 inch on the ground will not show in the sim.  By all means there's more work to do but we're moving in the right direction.

live weather, showing 14C OAT

my friend lives outside of Sioux City. There's a blizzard there right now. Couldn't get the weather to be anything other than a sunny green day using live weather. Tried to recreate a blizzard by customizing the weather. Game crashed.

Finally just set it as snow, flew out, window froze over with all the heat on. game crashed.

I can confirm. I normally have ok luck with live weather but this is ridiculous. Temps, wind, and pressure were close to reports but nothing but clear sky when the current weather is:

KSUX 232234Z 31026G43KT 1 1/2SM R31/5500VP6000FT -SN OVC012 M10/M13 A2981 RMK AO2 PK WND 33052/2203 VIS 1V2 SNEMMB10 P0000 T11001128 $

Was really off yesterday @ SLC and JAC during a big storm...

We're definitely not that warm.  We were 4C before this cold front brought snow and blizzard conditions.... 

Their live weather is broken...always has been

its just a shame they introduce a new feature again that doesnt work as intended.  I'm glad it works for asobo's version they use at their offices.  Maybe they can let us use it too.

It works for me this was, I believe, Albany New York yesterday.

Make bug reports on zen desk showing comparison pictures between meteoblue and the actual sim

I think that unfortunately people’s experiences will vary with live snow coverage as they have with live weather working properly until Asobo really gets the backend of live weather working consistently.
