Umm... If you mean some way to let the user know what time of year it
is, you can use the PVC_date_now() macro (see the "Global Stuff"
section). In POV-City, every Christmas is a white one, so you don't need
to check if it has snowed yet, just the time of year; POV-City winter
will start around November and continue until January.
