And when it does obviously then it's probably using the sim's snow mechanism so you get the same full overblown snow. PACD, Cold Bay, is in the Aleutians, and because of the proximity of the ocean, tends to be warmer in fall/winter than interior Alaska. This morning’s METAR shows a temperature of 55F with rain. No idea if there has been previous accumulating snow, but the current weather does not call for it.

October 25, 20223 yr MSFS really needs to have some kind of formula behind snow coverage. If you've got a valley at 500m elev in east/west direction and mountains up to 2500m elev on each side. On the north-faced mountains on the southern side of the valley, snow coverage reaches all the way down to the valley. On the south-faced mountains on the northern side of the valley, you've got no snow at all up to say 1000m or 1500m (ofc depending on various factors but you get the idea...). This effect of the angle at which sunrays hit the ground can be pretty significant. Can be seen on many webcams during winter (for those who havent got snow in front of their door):https://www.foto-webcam.eu/webcam/asitz/2022/10/24/1350
October 25, 20223 yr It reminds me of ORBX that has to release Unalaska, a scene that will exploit out real weather. No interest. In the state Alaska is unusable, between the problem of snow cover and low resolution textures (mixture of satellite photos of different year) useless to fly in this state.

Good point, made me laugh that we eventually got a great PAVD, but the surrounding area is pretty poor... G Gary Davies aka "Gazzareth" Simming since 747 on the Acorn Electron
