I'm thinking the reason the gurus haven't said anything about snow accumulation isn't because they don't have it, but because they literally cannot say a word about it, I don't think they're allowed to say anything until an official blog post all about Winter is released, and then we'll see whether there's snow accumulation or not.
I reckon because of the controversy surrounding snow, the gurus desperately want to reassure us that there is accumulation (if there is) but cannot, because if they spoil any information that will be discussed and/or revealed in the blog post then their jobs would be at risk - and unfortunately snow in general just might be one of those things.
Despite all evidence we have thus far pointing at now accumulation, I'm still going to hold hope and wait until they are allowed to officially say something.
I'm not convinced but it's possible. They've shot down other things pretty fast, things people also really want (like no new world, no festival grounds, etc.). You're right that if the answer was a simple nope there isn't, they may just be allowed to say that. And they do mention blizzards so I still think there will be different types of snow. I think they were gonna address this in their upcoming Q&A though so maybe we'll find out more then. I still don't think the snow will be super deep, but I agree that there's probably still quite a bit we don't know at all, and how snow works may definitely be a part of that.
But they usually stay quiet about thing they know will bother people and make a big excuse announcement about it.
I believe we can say this looks like a blizzard
The snow is still flat

Also, if there were any type of snow depth, the lowest snow wouldn't be in line with no snow.

Yeah I know, and I'm not holding my breath for deep snow. I'm fine with that as long as it looks good, personally, but it'd be nice if they'd at least consider updating it for those that are disappointed. Also, I think they'd do themselves a huge favor by being honest. If it really is an engine limitation, they should just come out and say that instead of "we chose not to focus on snow depth because we wanted to focus on new careers and bee keeping", simply because a seasons EP imho doesn't afford them the luxury of saying anything like that. If they were honest though and actually explained why it doesn't work or why it will have to be updated later, would be wiser, more forthcoming, and although it'd still be met with complaints, I think it would make simmers more open to listening to what they have to say.
Exactly, I'd be more accepting although not happy if they said they couldn't do it because their engine if they make excuses and say they focused on something else it just sounds bad. We had Such good snow in Sims 3 and from what I saw more activities and a life-state. So to say you focused on another small features makes it look like either you don't want to or you can't.
I play both Sims 3 and 4 because they both have thing I enjoy, I prefer 3 but love some of the more modern features of 4 including the build mode. I'd also be curious why sprinklers and Swings took 4 years to be released, I don't really consider them worthy of taking up space in a season's pack :/
