Heres a save (ignore the bleeding, focus on the weather and the month when you hit D.)

Did you make any modifications to the world gen settings? The date thing is already documented.

Is this a vanilla version or have you done mods? If you have done modding, even adjusting the worldgen settings, you can get drastically different results.

Using the default temperature range on most medium sized regions you should have one side of the map being hot and the other cold. The climate will range from freezing to hot or even scorching. Temperate weather often times has ice and snow in the winter with liquid water in the summer.

Is it explained by this old dev item?

# Req585, SNOWY WORLD GEN MAP, (Future): The map in world generation is always covered with a lot of snow as it thinks it is the beginning of Spring.

What world gen parameters are you using, or is it just the default "Create New World Now"?

Foot, it sounds like he's saying in adventurer mode the world is too cold. So I assume it's after world gen.

Toybasher, you didn't answer whether you made any world gen modifications/parameter changes.

I can't tell whether he empirically determined the world is too cold (insofar as that's possible in DF) or just glanced at the Adv. Mode character creation map, which (due to the above Req) shows up as snow-covered in recently generated worlds. toybasher, these details are important -- we need to know what exactly made you think that worlds are too cold.

AL I am doing is just hitting the Create new world now! button, I guess I should try a reinstall?

I just said: we need to know what exactly made you think that worlds are too cold. What are you observing, and on which screens?

Try the reinstall, but I doubt it'll change the problem.

Does this happen in every town, or just some of them?

It would be helpful to upload a freshly generated world (with default world gen params) that demonstrates this problem. http://dffd.wimbli.com/

I'm getting the same thing in Fortress mode as well. Sometimes everything's covered in snow and my rivers/brooks/ponds are frozen, sometimes only half the map is under snow with the water frozen, and sometimes (though rarely) everything's fine but the water's still frozen. The embark screen says temperate, and sometimes it even happens when it's warm/hot. I rarely have unfrozen water sources in the new version.

I'm using Vanilla, and it happens both with Create New World Now! and Design New World With Parameters.

Edit: Thought I'd mention I'm getting all the proper flora/fauna for the biome, I just have snow and frozen water as well. Maybe I should post this as a seperate bug at this point, but I still feel it's the same problem as above.

Is this still an issue in the latest release? Keep in mind that even temperate/warm regions could freeze over in the winter.

I'm closing this for now. If anyone has information from the new version that supports this problem, please either reopen it or PM a manager on the forums.
