Is it EVER possible to model snow in our game?

Good day.

I think I asked this question quite a while ago and I think other folk have also queried this,but is it EVER possible to model snow effects in SH3?.I am thinking it could somehow be modelled around the existing rain model,and work on that?.Ideally I am thinking all that would have to be done is to redraw the rain textures and make them white?.It really would be nice as my new mission at the moment is up near the Arctic routes.I am not bothered about having ice rendered on the deck but falling snow or even sleet would be fantastic.
A thought to some of you very skilled modders out there?
I appreciate it may be harder than I imagine,but from some of the mods i've already seen as far as affecting and even changing the environment entirely it should be no hassle at all?Take GWX3 for example,the sky and clouds have been completely redrawn and so has the sun and moon.

Cheers guys.

I know rain's colour, falling speed and density can be tweaked, what I don't know is if it is possible to replace the enlonged model with something that looks like a snow flake.

I don't know how to model the different rain effects, but apparently there is only one file for precipitation. If you model it to look and act like snow, that's what you'll get any time it now rains.

I suppose that you could make different files and then use SH3 Commander's date-based randomizer to force it to change depending on the month.
