SOH-CM-2023
This is my discovery the end of 2019! 
Here in Mid-Europe, at least in the last few years, we haven't had real snow and temperatures are above mostly 0 deg of C and more (for example now we have near 6-8 deg of Celsius).
BUT in FSX/P3D we have this time HARD Winter time and "winter's white textures" (the same on part of USA ect).
I Always use Real weather (Active Sky) and real time for flying (date, I change only hours) and its strange, we have +6 deg of C outside and .... snowy textures inside of simulator.
I started to use simelite.com product - Season Manager and it works very well. I'm happy now to see proper textures outside the window of my plane.
This software use REAL datas about location of snow in the World.
This map exactly: https://simelite.com/seasonmap/ (this map has update every day for new data, once).
Map is updated every date what is very good.
They change "normal" textures only, works with ORBX Regions, Base package and Vector without issue.
Very easy and simply installation (no any backu need also).
Its a 1 day trial version also to check this.
I take 3 months subscription (yes its a payware addon, about 10$ for 3 months) for winter only which is the most problematic for me.
btw. it doesnt change photo textures. Examples:
Transition:
it was / it is (live mode, near mountains), the same it was in RL:
You have live mode or manual mode (if you want to change manually something).
Here example with photo textures (FTX True Earth Netherlands, as you can see no changes here, only around textures are ok, but I can live with this, I havent not many photo-textured regions).
I use this software since near 1 month and works ok.
Btw. I know, its a different way to see non-hard winter textures - save the flight from November and textures will be in autumn/winter time (non hard winter), but.... in this time we had different lighting, down and dusk time, main look ect. I prefer real time.
Ciao!
