I have thought snow would be a great addition.
Have done a little investigation and think it has potentual possibilities, unfortunately it's getting the time to do it.

Snow
Had a glancing look at the rain and IIRC there are parameters that can be altered, size, density etc, which possiibly could be altered to give a snow effect.

SH3Commander
Next you'd have to find in which order SH3Commander processes the folders.
If the above is ideal than you could attach the files to folders to only allow when in certain flotillas at the appropiate area and the correct season and perhaps randomised. There is a problem with long distance patrols going from one zone to another, but this could be solved with save/exit/reload scene change.
Else you could run an external program to do this.

Effects
You could alter efficiencies for loading guns, visibility, equipment breakdown etc.
New File.tga's could be added to give snow covering.
IIRC the subs rotating loop is not visible underwater, so deck snow could possible be added using the same method. But probably I'm wrong.

The above is just a rough sketch of ideas I had, perhaps a pipedream but you never know.
