It still amazes me how they released this sim with the exact same issues of 2020. And in some cases even worse than 2020.  

It doesn't amaze me going on their past record, it's just one of many items that need polishing up as they've been half-baked since inception. Unfortunately I'm a stickler for Live Weather so I've learnt to live with their shortcomings when it comes to Snow and other issues, see the Sea being flat as pancake most of the time when quite clearly the waves should be much much bigger for one example, a very similar issue to this Snow coverage "bug".

MSFS consistently gets weather/precipitation in the southern hemisphere totally wrong (I'm in New Zealand) - in spite of the fact that it can source relatively accurate temperatures etc. from METARs - and has all the topography info for altitudes (and therefore snow lines). Why it can't work it out from all that, I just don't know.

If I load the MB web site and look at the “snow depth” map, it initially shows much of the South Island is covered. But I zoom in, it brings up a much higher resolution map that shows the snow is confined mainly to the higher mountains in the northeast. Evidently MB is supplying the low resolution snow data to MSFS. The same probably holds true for the Alps.

No, because those votes are for MSFS2020 and as such, it could have 10'000 votes and it would still not end up on the Top10 Bug List for MSFS2024. And obviously this bug list is the only thing they might care, even if they claim otherwise.

I am sorry but this whole voting system is just stupid. 

When something like "PC-12  Pressurization system still not working correctly" gets more votes than core sim features not working, its saying something about this voting system.

I agree, but it IS one of the few options to bring things into the attention of the devs, because they HAVE to comment from time to time what is intended to be done regarding those bugs ending up on the Top50 bug list. And sadly only bugs end on this list that have enough votes. That is how it is...

Its also pretty obvious to me they got their own priorities as well and not following blindly the votes. 
 

you can see issues with as little as 50 votes getting fixed before issues with hundreds of votes

Considering that both MS2020 and 2024 share the exact same weather system and internal API, I doubt that. 

What gets fixed for MS2020 in that regard will also automatically fix 2024.

I think it says more about the community. 

Although the weather representation has been tweaked for years  (some say there is development—but that's wishful thinking), there is still a lack of credible implementation of cloud formations in different atmospheric conditions. 
This may even be advantageous, as some flights would otherwise have to be canceled due to the lack of a convincing weather radar - but let's not open that can of worms.

But that can't be the standard for a modern flight simulator, in which many areas (aircraft, avionics, scenery) see active development while the atmosphere will have to make do with tweaks to an apparently inadequate engine from the early days. And yet, weather related Bug reports or Wishlist threads seldom reach more than 250 votes. And I cannot but notice that many discussions about deficiencies in weather simulation are often stifled early on with mere subjective impressions ("looks good enough for me") instead of supporting efforts to improve the sim. The reasons for this behavior are a mystery to me, but it is striking that there is also resistance from the user base to improvements in weather and atmosphere simulation.

Doubt what you want, it is a FACT that the bug is not on the buglist of MSFS2024. And do you really think it gets fixed in 2020? Now? Dream on...
