No word on release date yet, but it looks like Cities: Skylines is going to get a number of expansions like other Paradox titles. I know people have mixed feelings on DLC, but the first DLC was pretty feature filled, and it looks like this one will be too.

No word on the release date yet, but it's "Coming Soon" apparently.

About Snowfall
In Snowfall, the difficulty heats up when the city cools down, thanks to a new in-game temperature reading that will have residents bundling up for warmth when the weather outside is frightful. Cosmetic weather, composed of rain and fog, will be added to Cities: Skylines as part of a free update, along with other features to be announced soon. Players who own Snowfall will get to face new challenges such as ensuring that their city infrastructure can handle seasonal heating demands – and, when the snow starts falling, that the roads can stay clear. New snowplow services will be required to prevent traffic from freezing in place, while new all-weather trams and expanded public transit options can help residents and visitors alike get around town – and visit the new winter parks and landmarks available in Snowfall.

Features
- 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

I can't wait to see, but I've hardly had time to sink into the first expansion yet. This is not looking good for my free time.

I hope this will include Frosty The Snowman parades.

So the features say "a new winter themed map". Does this mean that the weather in the expansion will not be dynamic?

Does sound like it, which would be a real shame :(
