Actually there's a bit of snowing in the dusk setting. It's not very noticeable in the pictures. The snowfall is more or less the intensity of the one in the stock hoth map.
UPDATE
Ok, yesterday I finished adding a new time of day/weather variant:
Night. All I can say about it is that it is dark and it is probably the hardest one. Without the option to have icons above the enemy's head, this becomes a nice challenge.
Anyway, enough. Time for the pictures:
Now that most of the things are set, I'll start putting implementing new stuff, so give your suggestions and a bit of criticism is always welcome.
PS: Does anybody know how to reset polls? I tried to do so with this thread's one but I got some weird results like options duplicating and stuff like that.

The sky is beautiful.
Definitely my favourite "weather".

Seconded. That is pretty amazing sky- I wish the sky was like that in the winter where I live!

Oh my goodness, that is magnificent! It's like winter in Death Valley but with snow!
So um, heh, which sound stream are you using with
this weather mode?

Rinds me a bit of Skyrim. Especially with the new sky.

Oh yeah, this is something I was going to post about. Actually, right now I don't have any soundstreams to use with these new settings (dawn, dusk and night).
So if anyone out there knows a good ambient soundstream to go with the new variants, just let me know.

Something with light gusts of wind and some birds chirping could have a decent effect for the dawn setting. As for dusk and night, however, light, chilling gusts of wind with the sound of creaking and moaning trees and their leaves will do wonders. I can mix a few things up for you.

Awesome marth. If you can do this for me I'd be thankful.

Ok guys, today I was staring at the night variant's sky and I though about giving it glow.
I believe I can ajust the glow slightly just by tweaking the sky tga lightness a bit. Also, I think this new sky gives me a nice excuse to lighten the overall environment. The night setting is too dark and you can barely see the enemies.
I'll play around with the lighting and see what I can get. Oh, and let me know what you think of this update.

The glow really adds quite a bit. Wonderful work.

I've been watching (admiring) this from afar, but I have to say it.
This is the best looking level I have seen for Battlefront.
I may even purchase a copy of bf2, just to get killed in this level.
(I only play/hack-at BF1 for now)
Fantastic use of the the tools and environment.
Not only is your attention to detail eagle-eye sharp, but what you are doing with it is fantastic.
You have a fan, now.
