I figured out my issue for those that may have something similar; even though there was no snow on the ground, the environment XML in the savegame under the snow section was not 0's as it should have been. I edited it to be 0's and it fixed my issue after a reload. I assume this is a bug when sleeping through winter, as thats what happened to me.

I had the same issue.

like a perpetual frost state, on the crops, grass, parts of trees, building roofs, even the edges of the road etc etc, like this:

it seams that after the first winter in the environment.xml the snow height was not set to 0.0000, i.e.

Code: Select all

<snow physicalHeight="0.000000" height="0.052467"/>
which should have changed to:

Code: Select all

<snow physicalHeight="0.000000" height="0.000000"/>
and after changing the latter it fixed the problem, had tried all sorts, like fixed weather days, deleting the shader cache's etc.

I'm having the same issue: "like a perpetual frost state". However I am on console, any idea how to fix it on console?

UPDATE: I did figure out a slightly painful 'fix' for this on consoles. You have to wait for it to snow again and let the game reset this value. No sleeping during that process! It's going to be long winters, lol.
