Are the trees going to be reset to normal?

Snow during winter and then back to normal

    Also never experienced Winter. Don't mind it, but as I said I love dramatic color ...


    winter, snow, fall, etc.... sort of over rated, my one year in a cold place can attest to that. are you not enjoying our dusty dead drought filled heatwave of a winter?!

    Visit Colorado at the end of October some year, you can probably experience both in one week.


    What are you talking about, you can probably experience both in a matter of 48 hours. :P

    Well, sure, but it's more likely if someone is here for at least a week ;)

    Apparently, when my mom first arrived in Colorado, she asked if it would snow the next day. She was told that only fools try to predict the weather, here.
    Someone once asked me what weather they should pack for if they were visiting a semi-mountain town called Boulder in mid-March. They thought I was being difficult when I said, "Warm sunny days, cool days, and blizzard." Got very angry about it, actually. But that's literally how it is here, especially in the six months that surround December.


    Yup. Weird stuff happens around mountains. I live near the Appalachians, not quite as young as the Rockies, but we get our own version of weird weather here.

    ...and here we are brought up with the joke "if you don't like the weather just wait a minute" and you guys get an entirely different season with the change of a breeze :shock: :mrgreen:

    Will have to remember that when people are complaining about Nor'easters :lol:

    I read. A post on here of someone wanting to take up roads and sidewalks the night before the snow flies si it looks like free snow where noone has walked or drove on it. Love the idea. Love the seasonal trees and think they need to stay that way. Thanks again for your rime.

    Chey


    That was me.

    I also started a thread in the showcase section specifically for sharing nice pictures of the leaves in transition. I thought it was a cute feature. And i Didn't have to buy them with donuts!

    Last time I checked no one had posted newer pics.

    I think the trees look good when there's a variety of colors across an area. I was hoping a thanksgiving event would include an evolution of yellow to red, orange to Brown, and the rest bare. Then for the Christmas event they drop the blizzard on us.

    The seasonal changes are a great addition to the game to contribute to its fresh feeling. There's change with the seasons just like real life. I think it helps contribute to its "real time" game play.

    And it's really just something someone can ignore once you see it enough, much like when they dye the water green. Just tap.

    Spring bought green water as well as the increased flowers during the event which shall not be spoken. It certainly dies look spring-y in spring in SF.

    I don't take this effort for granted, not if i ever want to see night time SF. It would be the same design dept. I appreciate nuance game effects. The FG game reminds me daily how many more features are available in this game. Mainly because they've added them over time. I hope they continue to improve the game as well as continue offering fresh content and that's a tall order over time.

    But I'm also someone who enjoys designing my own SF..My buildings are not just laying in disarray across a field of grass. Some SFs are like that. Everyone is different.





  • I used to live in Memphis, but now live in Orlando, Florida. I can't say I hate the weather here! 8)

    I love the trees this way, orange is my favourite colour. :D

    I wish one of them had turned red, like maple trees. Those are so pretty.
    also some purple ones ive seen some trees where i used to live the leaves would turn a dark purple color in the fall maby next year they can add those two.

    In middle-school I lived in Colorado Springs (about an hour or so south of Denver, for those that don't know), and I remember days I'd go to school in shorts because it was 80ish and I still had most my SoCal clothes, and by the time school got out, I'd have to run home because it was freezing cold. Literally!

    I have a vivid memory of a picnic gone crazy... A lovely day in the park with a bunch of family and friends (birthday party). Warm and sunny. I'm throwing a Frisbee at a cousin and a shadow passes overhead, I look up towards Pike Peak (a prominent mountain in CoSprngs), and coming over the mountain are the darkest clouds I'd ever seen! CO-native Aunt Holly was first to realize what was happening, and starts shouting, rounding up people, as I get dinged in the head by a 25-cent-gumball-sized hailstone (more startled than injured). Within minutes, we were in the middle of a windy thunder/hail/rain-storm. From balmy to cold and blustery. It was crazy!

    Took the party back to my Aunt Holly's house, which was on a hillside, and ate cake and ice cream while watching an amazing lightning show. Was really awesome, actually. Heh.

    My aunt used to say the same thing...

    Well, we say five minutes, but here it's not really a joke. It's words of wisdom.
  • I just returned from a trip to CO. It was warmer there than here in Atlanta. I brought all these heavy winter items thinking it would be colder. They came to good use when I went to the top of Pike's peak though. I thought I would blow right off the mountain! Brrr! CO is so pretty...
