What would you like to be added/ changed?
1.21 of TFC added a system that adds and removes snow as chunks are loaded, meaning snow will instantly melt if you walk into a snow-filled chunk during the summer, and vice versa.
TerraFirmaGreg-Team/Core-Modern#427 implemented this in a way that mostly works, except it only removes snow and doesn't add it. It can also look strange when generating new chunks, like here:
-1164348183722065023 @ 12453 ~ -4600
(date is august 6, temps are -7 avg and -4 current)
Why is this needed?
It would be nice if this fully worked for both adding snow back, and removing it in a nicer-looking way.
One big problem the other PR author ran into is that 1.21 has a different formula for predicting snowfall, since it has a separation of groundwater and rainfall, as well as rainfall variance so climates can have wet seasons and dry seasons. So we can't just copy and paste the 1.21 system exactly.
