The Islands of Cannabis are tropical. We never have any snow and it's warm and sunny all year.

It's a common subject in logic classes, along with swans.

Both can be found together regularly up in the Kettingstone Range in the northern parts, although virtually every part of the (mainland) country gets snow at least once a year, even Neue Bayreuth, the southernmost city. The Eastern Desert can be a bit iffy though-- if the weather gets cold enough over there, precipitation usually comes in freezing rain. The northern cities like Fox Dole Altar, Ost Sempach, and Xin Anhuei are, of course, more likely to get snow than cities to the south like Zappora, Cwithers, and Neue Bayreuth.

The only place under Freneq jurisdiction not to see snow is Kofahl Island, which is close enough to the tropics of the planet it is on to make it fairly rare, if not impossible, to have snow fall.

Frenequestans generally enjoy snow when it's in its proper place-- that is, where it's not blocking the road. But most streets, parking lots, and even driveways have heat-regulated surfaces, so it's usually not a problem to clear them. The ski resorts up in the Kettingstone are very popular, so most Frenequestans have seen at least 8 cm of snow on the ground at least once in their life. (Actually, snow was considerably more common on our old planet where most of the native population was born, so many people have memories of even deeper snow.)

The Holy Federation is located on a continent covered in desert. However, it is one of the only nations on the continent to have land on greener areas. Mountain ranges the the North West are covered in snow from Dec-Feb. But Mt. Ararat,Aragats, and Masiss have snow caps all year round. This also applies to other tall mountains. There is however cold deserts in the center of Ararat, maybe a day or two of snow in the central hills.

Does it ever snow in your nation?
Yes.

If so, how often?
Perhaps once a month.

Where?
At first, in random places. Eventually it will spread to everyone at once.

Do your people like snow? Is it considered a novelty? Or do they hate it?
Snow is feared, for it lives and it hungers. During the monthly Snowfall, all citizens retreat indoors and all work is canceled. The entire nation shuts down and the snow is melted by the powerful heaters installed throughout the nation. Strangely, the native flora and fauna are always fine. It is only humanity and its inventions that the snow destroys.

Have most of your people seen snow? (In person)
From safe inside their home, yes. Those who see it more intimately are no longer with us.

Does it ever snow in your nation? Yes it does.

If so, how often? It is typical to have 2-3 weeks of snow across the islands in December, while in the Trois Sommets mountain range it snows for 5 months out of the year

Where? See above.

Do your people like snow? Yes they do, precisely because of its novelty due to the fact that snow has never,in Artemea's recorded history, lasted for more than a month anywhere outside the Trois Sommets mountain range.

Is it considered a novelty? Yes.

Or do they hate it? N/A, see above. Often Artemea is home to many travellers and vacationers who want to escape the winter. In general, Artemea's citizenry don't mind if at all.

Have most of your people seen snow? Yes, though briefly.

Does it ever snow in your nation?: Yes.

If so, how often?: Almost year round, except for summer.

Where?: In the Central Gajran Mountains.

Do your people like snow? Is it considered a novelty? Or do they hate it?: Many Gajrans who are raised in the jungle, coast, or major cities like snow, as they have probably never seen it before. As such, to them, it is considered a novelty. Alas, for the Gajrans who actually live in the mountains and the highlands that surround it, they are either apathetic to it or dislike it.

Have most of your people seen snow? (In person): No.

Yes. We get seasonal snow in MaPa Kettleville.

It snows every year.

Snow is mostly in the mountainous areas of MaPa Kettleville which is a good thing since our ski resorts, snowmobile parks, and Olympic Winter Sports stadiums, event tracks, etc are all built in the mountanous areas of MaPa Kettleville.

Some people like snow and some do not.

All of the MaPa Kettlevillians that have desired to see snow have probably done so. It is not mandatory that anyone has to see snow and experience it first hand. It is there for them during the snow season of winter though if they decide to embrace snow in all of its wonderful forms of activity.

Snow is very common throughout the nation, with the northern regions seeing much snowfall particularly during the middle of the winter months. Southern regions see shorter periods of snowfall, and at times, none, depending on the year to year climate. Citizens are accustomed to snow, and perception of it varies from person to person.

Does it ever snow in your nation?

Yes, annually (one or more times a year in every Chadtonian Province or Territory)

If so, how often? Seasonally, usually between the months of October to Februrary or March. In 1997 it snowed as late as May in the Upper Warrior Mountain range in the Great Warrior Province. The amount of snowfall varies season to season, and region to region.


Where? In all Provinces (and currently all Chadtonian Territories as well) including the previously termed Outer Islands (now called The Crimson Rosella Isles)


Do your people like snow? Some do, some don't.

Is it considered a novelty? Not necessarily.

Or do they hate it? Some do, some don't.

Have most of your people seen snow? Yes.

Does it ever snow in your nation? Well...
If so, how often? Almost all of the time.
Where? Mainly in the north and the east. The coldest human settlement in the world, Oymyakon, is in Northeastern Siberia. However, things get serious in Moscow in the winter. In the south, mainly Turkestan, Khorezm and Bukhara Oblasts/Electorates, it snows significantly less.
Do your people like snow? Is it considered a novelty? Or do they hate it? Barely any people dislike it since many are quite used to it. Mainly the children like snow. It's not a novelty in the slightest. As said earlier, most are used to it.
Have most of your people seen snow? (In person) Yes.

Fun fact: The amount of snow legally required for schools to be closed differ by Electorate. The least is Bukhara with 2.5 cm and the most is Yakutia with 45 cm. However, the overseas territory of Prince Konstantin Island closes school after any snow.

During the winter season, the Taborina region and the northernmost parts of the Katea region get snow.

Most of Deskorga does not get any snow at all.

If so, how often? Rare. This country rarely ever experiences cold unless you're in certain locations. One may be able to see some snow but one should not expect to gain a significant amount.
Where? Snow almost always occurs in the highest regions of Pavonistade.
Do your people like snow? Is it considered a novelty? Or do they hate it? Snow is treated delicately as it is rare in Pavonistade.
Have most of your people seen snow? A majority of Pavonistadians do not see snow.
