Snowfall also brings a host of winter-themed buildings to your city. There's also a city policy for making sure that citizens use studded tires when they ride out into the world. So you need to build snow dumps as a place to put all that snow, which create snowplows that roam around the city. The snow itself will clog your roads, which will increase traffic and prevent your trucks from bringing in the coal and oil you need for power. This is just the stuff that pulls money out of your pocket immediately. There's also a new policy available that forces buildings to be built with more insulation, meaning they'll retain heat much better, but cost more.

The Heat Pipes are an upgrade to your existing piping, so it's a rather quick turnaround, but they cost far more than your existing Water Pipes. The Boiler Stations and Geothermal Plants produce heat to nearby areas and you can extend their reach with the piping if your city is big enough. The straightforward additions are the new Boiler Stations, Geothermal Plants, and Heat Pipes. Snowfall introduces a host of problems with winter weather, but it also gives you ways to solve those problems. Your power plants also require resources that are normally delivered via truck, but icy roads can bring your traffic to a crawl. That means you need to rethink your power grid and how your overall power management works. When it gets cold, your citizens will turn up the heat, which hogs a ton of power. Winter isn't just a visual flourish though, it somewhat changes the way you have to play. It's a feature that feels important and the developer just missed it this time around. Winter isn't a direct part of the game as a seasonal cycle of any map, instead it's only available on three new maps that are always stuck in perpetual cold. The expansion offers up some heavy snowfall and deep freezes to your prospective metropolis. Winter is here, with a new temperature gauge on the UI and winter weather blanketing your cities in an icy wonderland. Screenshots via Steam user IrresponsibleCaptNathan, because they take much better screens than I do. I say "limited", because the only weather addition that really changes the way you play is the titular snowfall. Snowfall adds a weather system to Cities Skylines, alongside a host of new buildings and features that make use of that weather. Following the successful launch of Cities: Skylines and the first expansion, After Dark, Colossal Order and Paradox Interactive are back with Snowfall.
