BLIZZARD BEFORE
Notice the snowflakes are actually blue and the background is white. Every snowflake is the same uniform size and arranged perfectly in the hex - it looks more like wallpaper than natural snow.

BLIZZARD AFTER
Here the snowflakes are white and the background is blue. The snowflakes are also different sizes as in nature and fill each hex more as truly severe weather would do.

RAIN BEFORE
The raindrops are huge, cartoonish, and look like the soldiers below would be the size of ants in comparison. Only the reflection on the raindrop is really visible over some of the terrain.

RAIN AFTER
Here the rain is smaller and looks more natural - it comes in streaks. It is also more recognizable over land. Heavy rain is coming down from the north changing to lighter rain.

COLD BEFORE
Here the cold is represented by a single blue snowflake on land, which is barely visible. It is also cold over the swamps, but, as you can see, it doesn't show up at all.

COLD AFTER
The cold is represented by 2 snowflakes which are slightly faded compared to the other snow. (In the hex popup it only says cold, but in the rule book it says cold and light snow.) Notice it is visible over the swamps now.

Hi Mark -No this is just the air weather - I haven't tried modding the ground yet, other than the "rough" tiles in a different mod.
