okay - i opened my city and this snow is creeping across the whole thing! i only have two cities in this region and the other city doesn't have this problem. it starts at the top left and is going diagonally across the screen. recently i have installed two additional gigs of memory - which hasn't caused any problems anywhere else. could that be the culprit or is it something else? take a look and let me know. thanks!

There's an easter egg in the game that makes snow appear on high altitudes on Christmas day. That could be culprit :)
lol - yup that christmas snow chestnut....
I remember the first time this happened to me, maybe three Christmases ago, and I was pretty worried myself until I figured out what was going on. :)
(for those that don't know you can make this happen deliberately by changing your computer date to the 25th of Dec)
I have yet to play SC4 on Christmas...
I really wanted to do so yesterday but I forgot. Ah well, I could trick my PC into thinking its Dec 25, but that's too much effort lol
Well, you can always use the "snow" cheat from the Extra Cheats DLL. ;)
I didn't have snow on the 25th. Maybe because I have the dutch version. Too bad :(
That's odd, I've the Dutch version as well and I do get the snow.
The Maxis snow will only appear at a certain height - if you were using an all-flat Dutch map, the altitude probably was too low. ;)
