@crinrict Hi Crin
No worries, always good to check.
It is an obscure issue to spot because the game play only happens on an upgraded object and the effect only influences the weather; it doesn't override it completely. So, I'm completely sure that the setting on the weather machine used to stay set and influence the weather throughout the current season, and now the setting is lost when you travel. I'm pretty sure that the influence of this setting on the current seasons weather is also lost, but it isn't possible to be completely sure on that. I hope that makes some sense.
For example, I'm currently playing in the Senbamachi neighbourhood of Mt. Komorebi, it's fall and seems to rain a lot. I have an upgraded weather controller on the Izakaya Ippai community lot, which I use to set the fall forecast to 'dry'. If you remain on this lot the rain clears up so the weather influence seems to work. Rechecking the fall forecast on the weather controller, while still on this lot, the setting shows as 'dry'. However, once I return home, the 5-6-1 Shinrinyoku lot, it won't be long before the rain returns. Going back to the Izakaya Ippai lot and checking the weather controller fall forecast shows it is back to 'normal', and, as it is now raining, the influence of the 'dry' setting also seems to have been lost.
To check this wasn't a problem with using the weather controller on a community lot I did the opposite in a new save from Willow Creek. Upgrading a weather controller on a residential lot, setting the fall forecast to 'cold', which seemed to influence the weather. Once I'd travelled to a community lot and returned home the weather controller setting was definitely lost, back to 'normal', and the cold influence seemed to have been lost as well.
Thanks for your help

I've noticed this as well. It has been going on for a while before Snowy Escape. I think it happened either with Eco Lifestyle or one of the patches since. As @justchrisuk says, whenever you travel, the weather machine resets.
