Based on reports from over several months it appears to be in some cases sporadic and in other cases (world) regional. Seems from what I have seen that often the closer you are to Asobo the more accurate the weather.

February 2, 20215 yr NYC is looking good https://imgur.com/a/H89X8A4 This is Asobo's live weather, taken about 5 minutes ago, I set the time to noon though to see it better. Edited February 2, 20215 yr by Tuskin38
February 2, 20215 yr What the heck, I had more snow/ice appear while I flying around. Apparently the default live weather supports ice/snow buildup? Looking at webcams in the city, the water is ice free So here's an example of too much snow/ice to contrast with all the reports that there isn't enough This was 25 minutes later And this was taken 10 minutes after that, and even more 9 minutes after that image.

February 8, 20215 yr Oh wow, there was a snowstorm last night, got up and there's snow in the sim. The last time it snowed hard it took a little over a week for it to appear in the sim. Edited February 8, 20215 yr by Tuskin38

A big leap forward in rethinking how weather is treated including how it can accumulate. Well done Asobo...now can you just tweak it some more. i9-13900K O/C | ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero | 32GB DDR5 6000MHz Kingston FURY | RTX 4090 24GB | 2x SSD M.2 (2TB Samsung 990 PRO) 1x SSD (4TB Samsung 870 EVO) | Windows 11 Home | H20: HydroLux PRO:HardLine Tubing| 1000w PSU | Starlink WiFi
February 15, 20215 yr I'm seeing snow all over Texas. I dunno if there's as much as there should be, but it's there. Edited February 15, 20215 yr by Tuskin38
February 15, 20215 yr I can't use live weather in British Columbia because everything is always buried in snow up there, roads, towns, airports, runways, taxiways. No snow plows so everything is mostly hidden under snow.
February 15, 20215 yr Plenty of snow yesterday around the Stockholm area of Sweden - looked absolutely amazing... Edited February 15, 20215 yr by garydpoole

February 15, 20215 yr It hasn’t worked well for me in the US in the past, but it is working great today! I just did a flight from KOMA to KORD, and had heavy snow coverage on the ground throughout the flight. The weather in KOMA was mostly clear (and negative 23C !) , but the airport and surrounding terrain had deep snow from previous storms. There was snow-covered ground as far as the eye could see at cruise until the terrain became obscured by clouds, and there was snow falling with low vis on approach into Chicago, which matched the current r/w weather.

I think I even found the same angle your pictures are from heh. Building shape matches. Edited February 15, 20215 yr by Tuskin38

Yeah, your right, the sim isn’t picking up all the snow but better than nothing. Plus, that new hangar isn’t close enough to Lemmon Ave as they show it in MSFS.

Assuming we’re looking at the same one, it’s missing completely. which is odd, it’s in the Bing imagery. Might be missing from the outdated Open Street Map data MSFS uses.

February 16, 20215 yr In some parts of italy, the live snow is completely missing. In sicily, on Etna, no snow at all, even though on Meteoblue is showing accumulating snow. Edited February 16, 20215 yr by YouDontKnow
