A shame about snowfall,of all the environmental effects to be found in the world around us you would have thought the devs would have included snowfall/blizzards,at least for the Northern areas.I recall a chapter in my book 'iron coffins' where the author speaks of traversing all the way around through the Denmark strait to get into the Atlantic,only to be caught days later in fierce winds and snow,that had to be regularly scraped off the deck,and from beards also
It would have been great to be caught up in similar situations in SHIII,where you would have to be careful how much time you spent on the surface due to the constant barrage from ice winds,and the risk of cracking pipes/valves,similar to pressure effects already in game.I also think it would seriously affect the fatigue of the watch crew,unless they were Vikings and bred for such hardships

Murr , I apprieciate your eagerness for me to find icebergs around grid AE36 was it?,but sadly at the moment I am on my way towards EE65,just NE of the P.O.S. (port of spain).Thanks all the same

Effigy , that is a great shot of icebergs you have
