According to all known recent weather patterns, there is no way it should be able to snow in California.
Its climate is too warm for any snow to stick on the ground.
In BeamNG, of course, it snows anyway because BeamNG doesn't care what the weather thinks is possible. : )
Jokes aside, this map features snowy roads (with reduced friction) and a bunch of other custom elements. The lower friction on the roads may not be the most realistic, but it's really fun to slide around and do drifts that you wouldn't normally be able to do.
Do not use Vulkan, the snow breaks glass textures
Do not re-upload this mod or take any custom assets from this mod.
Map features:
Ice ocean:
Updated West Coast, USA map (V0.38):
Normal friction in tunnels and (most) buildings:
+ A couple other changes and details

Video from Camodo Gaming featuring the map!
Extra Yapping:
I tried to keep the mod file size to a minimum, so the majority of the textures and objects referenced are from the vanilla map files. This may lead to some things breaking after updates, but I do plan on regularly updating the mod for game updates as well as my own aditional modifications.

Thank you! I believe someone else is working on an abandoned west coast map already, hoping to get some other winter maps out eventually.

Thank you! The tire marks took quite a while to do, but I think it was worth it.

Thanks! I don't know if the issue can be fixed, I believe it is an issue with the renderer itself, I can look into it though.
