Note in this shot you can see the Mississippi has snow on its banks, this continues south to the Gulf. In Florida there are patches of snow also.

And yes after spending 32 years in Alabama, I know what freezeing rain is. But, I can also count the freezeing rain episodes that I have lived through on 1 hand.
As far as the temp difference, 0.8 isn't going to change much when the average temp is already 50 degrees.
gbs wrote:Allow me to agree with Doomwalker. Forget about freezing rains. They very rarely happen in March and when they do it is gone within 24 hours. It almost never in April. Granted I have only lived in Georgia, Alabama and South Cartolina but those are the areas I refer to as having unrealistic weather patterns. I wear shorts to the Masters for goodness sake. Keep in mind that we are playing 15 day turns. Does the weather depect a snapshot of the weather on that 15th day or does it represent average weather for the whole 15 day period?
I don't care what the graphics look like. What I feel is unrealistic is unit damage caused by "harsh weather" in Mobile in late March. That has to go if the desired effect is realism. JMHO.

Snow on the ground means 14 days where the thermometer drops well below freezing every night...and quite possibly most days too.
One day or two, during a two week period, of "freezing rain" does not sound to me like it should have the same relative impact. You got 12-13 days in which to dry yourself out, warm yourself up.
gbs wrote:Mikee, denisohn and Aryaman. With all due respect, I don't think you get my point. I'm not saying that cold weather shouldn't have a damaging effect. Sure it does. My point is when and where it does in this game. I don't mind severe cold even in Georgia in January and February. Not in April though. And, come on guys, Snow and Freezes in the Florida panhandle is just silly. The chance of having snow in April in the deep south states should be highly rare.
