I've been trying to think of ways that one could reasonably depict winter weather (or any other season for that matter). The easiest seems to be a simple quest/text statement combo. The logic block trick for figuring out the phase of the moon can be very easily adapted to calculate which season. Then you could have NPCs say stuff like, "That was sure a cold one last night." during the winter, etc. Of more work would be to do some additional graphics, for example NPCs could be seen in coats or parkas, or the wall switching trick could be used for the winter walls (or a text event somewhere to explain that "magic keeps this part of the city snow free").
I'll go ahead and create quests and sample logic block events to track seasonal and lunar activity, then if other people want to use them, you can just copy and paste.
