Irma 3 – How to turn rain into snow without mods

How to use a new Arma 3 feature to turn rain into snow without any mods.

Add code to convert rain to snow.

Put this code in the initServer.sqf file. It will work just fine.

0 setOvercast 1;
0 setRain 1;
0 setFog 0.1; // snow affects visibility at distance
setHumidity 0.9; // don't want to see dust clouds
enableEnvironment [false, true]; // don't want to see snakes and butterflies either

forceWeatherChange;
[
	"a3\data_f\rainnormal_ca.paa",	// rainDropTexture
	1,	// texDropCount
	0.01,	// minRainDensity
	15,	// effectRadius
	0.3,	// windCoef
	0.5,	// dropSpeed
	0.7,	// rndSpeed
	0.5,	// rndDir
	0.01,	// dropWidth
	0.01,	// dropHeight
	[0.2, 0.1, 0.1, 1],	// dropColor
	0.1,	// lumSunFront
	0.1,	// lumSunBack
	5.5,	// refractCoef
	0.3,	// refractSaturation
	true,	// snow
	false	// dropColorStrong
]
call BIS_fnc_setRain;

This will turn the raindrops into snowflakes. This is a neat trick!
