I've wondered about whether there were built-in snow effects, not having had any snow yet hereabouts. Did you also notice any animations, perhaps against a background of sky or a bit of landscape, in the Accuweather app, if you're using?
Heh...my hatred of snow runs deep.... and I went from loving it to hating it about the same time moved from a sled to a snowblower. Cold? I can deal with cold... cold is nothing... even the occasional frozen hellscape -20F below mornings. I never ever had to shovel cold.
