I have to wonder if the amount of snow is related to the specific map and the climate that is set for it. The devs have mentioned the word "climate" now a few times, and I feel like there have been hints that every map will have a slightly different weather result. I mean, Oasis Springs is a desert area and not likely to see much snow at all, just maybe some rain instead. They could still have a winter season, but it might actually be more realistic, like in places like Southern California, their winter doesn't get cold enough to snow. So if the trailer was made using only the base game maps, and the winter scenes were recorded in Willow Creek, which was inspired by New Orleans, it might not get much snow to begin with. But places like Windenburg or Brindleton Bay might be programmed to get full on blizzards sometimes (blizzards have also been mentioned) and so the snow level very well may look completely different during those storms. Even Newcrest might have harsher winters.
If this is indeed how they designed Seasons to be, to follow unique climates in each map, then I would say it might be the most immersive Seasons expansion yet. But if the snow is indeed just made to look like terrain paint, then I agree it would be a big disappointment. But I think it's wise to stay tuned for more information before jumping to conclusions just yet.
This would be horrible, because it would mean that if you want to actually experience deep snow, you need to buy Get Together, or Cats and Dogs just for their worlds - thus resulting in the same problem My First Pet Stuff fell into, relying on other packs to complete this pack!
I wouldn't mind this idea, however if they're going to introduce thick snow, it absolutely must be available in at least 1 base game world (with Willow Creek being the obvious choice).
That's why I mentioned Newcrest. But I can see them not using Newcrest for the trailer because they'd have to put a bunch of builds on the lots first to complete it. So I think they chose to make it snow in Willow Creek for the same reason you mentioned; because if Oasis Springs is already a desert and intended as a warmer climate, they wouldn't want Willow Creek to be too similar. So it's also possible we just haven't seen the effects of a full-on blizzard there, only a light winter. All of this is just my own theory, of course, I'm just going by the info that we have to work with.
