The weather machine won't work fully in strangerville?

Hiya~ I was actually in game and wanted to see if the weather machine would work and it definitely does. Needed a thunderstorm for a moment for story telling purposes.

I do believe have to complete the story and have the town weather return to normal. I wanted to see snow in SV and
got a message saying I couldn't use it because of the strange weather conditions.

Really? :o I have a fresh new game and it let me use the weather machine unless it's when you start to progress in the story?

Interesting! I didn't know it did that once you progress more into the story (or i guess once you first unlock the lab doors I'm guessing?) Though at the beginning you can definitely change the weather. Guess you can't once the town starts getting weird. :#
