I hear all of your points guys, but - no offense - you're not from around here 
.
I understand that for Americans or Norwegian guys Winter means Snow, but I live in a place where everybody freaks out when there's only so little as 2 inches of snow on the roads. I haven't walked in snow in two years, and though the current climate changes might be responsible, snow was never really commonplace around here. Even when it does snow, it's only for a couple of days at most, so plain white landscapes could be considered rare enough not to be modelled.
Of course with tougher winters, you might expect more snow, but not A LOT more. The Ardennes, Germany or continental France you guys probably know from famous battles fought there are several hundred miles further up North or inland, near different seas, and that makes a difference.
I'll make decent research and come up with actual, factual data for you to see what I mean...
Cheers
