Paradox Interactive has today announced the second expansion for Colossal Order’s Cities: Skyline. The new expansion is titled “Snowfall” and its core feature is an in-game weather system.

Cities: Skylines Snowfall is set for release later this year with the core component of the expansion being an in-game weather system (the weather effects currently in the game are cosmetic). The new weather system will test your ability manage your city as the changing weather will require you to change the ways you operate the city, for example when the weather gets cold and snow starts to fall you will need a snowplough service or traffic will slow to a crawl.

According to Paradox’s press release, Snowfall will include the following:

• Now is the Winter of This Content: Rain and fog for existing maps, plus a new “Winter” map theme with snow and all of its challenges.
• The Streetcars You Desire: Expanded public transportation options, including easier management of existing lines – and Trams, a new system demanded by fans.
• World Warmth, Too: Cold weather increases demands for electricity, unless new water-based heat systems are in place.
• Plowers to the People: Build a snowplow depot to keep traffic flowing during winter weather, and employ new road maintenance systems to keep your streets in shape.
• New Chirps: #yeahthereare
