Snow, snow everywhere

This is another thing I haven’t bothered to wonder much about, I’ve just noticed that it snows in some places in game during the winter games. Eveningstar is all blue, while it snows in harbor. My guildie said that he thinks the weather effect is tied to the player and doesn’t get cleared when you move from area to area, that’s why you sometimes have snow and sometimes not. I noticed that if I moved from harbor to my guild ship or to market, Gianthold, etc, the snowing effect stayed – just for me though. If I on the other hand moved from Eveningstar to my guild ship, I had the blue Eveningstar effect, but no snow. Check out some screenshots below.
