Thundersnow...

[ManicManiac]

 

Nothing complicated, mechanic driven, or even really affecting the gameplay at all...
I just thought it might be a nice touch for a rare weather condition.

Cool idea....or rather hot idea😊

I just thought given the glimmer fog... and the electromagnetic disturbances from the "first flare" on forward; that perhaps thundersnow isn't so out of the way.

It seems reasonable for thundersnow to be more frequent than the relative rarity of its occurrence in reality.  I just thought perhaps its something that would look beautiful and fit in with the lore as well.

I agree.😊.

I know that by no means is it a new suggestion.
It has been mentioned before (several times really).
The first occurrence I could find was from back in 2018:

Geeze thats a blast from the past!

I'm definitely still on board with the idea!

.aybe it should still be considered "rare", like aurora rare or even more? But maybe it occurs during big blizzards? Or a potential warning that one is approaching? Or just at random to make players curious/scared. xP. 

Would be cool to have it tied in with the "whiteout" challenge and have the thunder get more frequent as the days run out.
