With the exception of ski resorts, it rarely snows in any part of the nation. The parts that see snow, there is no guaranteed snow fall, and there are years without any snow fall at all.

The ski resorts only see snow on skiable terrain or in nature reserves, as the nature has adjusted to the climate.

However, snowstorms happen occasionally, and when they do, they rarely cause damage, and if they do, said damage isn't worse than temporary back-outs (power outages) and disruption to traffic, though they rarely even do that much, and don't last longer than a couple of days

It was known as the Great Snowstorm. It hit the northern and central regions of Artachia in November 26-December 4 1631. Meteorologists and those that predicted the future warned people to evacuate before it happened. 6/10 of people listened. During Cycle One, which lasted 2 days and 12 hours, winds blew at 123 miles per hour, and at temperatures ranging from 12°-18° F. In addition, hail fell with the snow. It would've been near suicide to be outside, with the strong winds, low temperatures, hail, and snow. During Cycle Two, lasting a week (7 days), everything outside was buried at most 28 feet of snow in the northern areas, and at most 18 feet in the central area, and it was 0°F. People were trapped within their homes, and many have attempted to escape by digging out of their homes and onto their roofs in an attempt to call for help. Many have failed for many reasons, and those reasons include the tunnels caving in on them, exhaustion, or giving up. During Cycle Three, which lasted 5 days, everything started to recover, but people faced new threats, including hungry animals that eat meat, violent gangs, looters, groups that turned to cannibalism, and right-wing extremists. As soon as the police returned or regained access to their stations, the human threats were either arrested or killed if necessary. The first assignment for rangers was to tranquilize the hungry animals and feed them. The cannibals were sent to rehabilitation centers. As soon as everything returned to normal, the 2/10 that stayed but survived were all treated and received compensation. The other 2/10 that stayed died, and were all given honorable funerals. From then on, the dates from November 26-December 4 became The Great Snowstorm Remembrance Days.

A snowstorm hit the few villages of Dörscher, Eisenkoffel, and Unsbruck not too long ago, killing about five people. None have been worse than that, really.

Ha! Snow. We have no snowstorms, because we are a hot arid desert with coastline.
Sandstorms, however, are quite common.

Sagerism is a huge place so down in the south and somewhat middle part of Sagerism not much snow is expected. But in Northern Sagerism they get hit with furious snowstorms a lot! Their worst was when a 450ft X 240ft snow tornado (dubbed Snow Tiger) whipped through the town of Icepentl killing only 3 but damaging many properties.

In 197 BC, a large snowstorm hit and knocked down a house. Then Alexandrea killed the blizzard with her axe.

Molsona is a tropical nation and snow is very rare here. Although, snowstorms happen occasionally in mountainous areas. The worst was in January 2007 in Central Dupont when a snow shower resulted in 4 inches of snow. Temperatures reached as low as 26 degrees.

Zsch has a seasonal climate, we have yet to experience a snowstorm that caused any major devestation. When we do however, I'll proabably make up some nationalistic over emotional propaganda speech about how me and my people will get through this, how tough Zsch resilience is, put some couple million in funding repairs and then end of story.
