After the snowstorm. On December 9th a warning will be on the board saying there is a snowstorm the next day. On the 10th it will snow all day. On the 11th IT will be on the ground and it won't melt until February 25th

What counts as a snowstorm? I've had some bouts if snow but I'm not sure. It's snowing right now in my town and the big catchable snowflakes are floating about-does that count?

"snowstorm" refers to the one on dec. 11. it doesnt look like much but the next day, BOOM. snow everywhere.

I don't know my town has already started snowing but it hasn't stuck to the ground yet.

Does the snow cover your paths too or do you still see them?

I can't WAIT for the snow to stick to the ground! This is my first New Leaf winter. I bet my town will look lovely with a blanket of white snow on top of it.

You still see them.

You still see them.

Okay, thanks! So I assume if I laid down a path -over- snow I'd see it as well too? I'm still working on putting them out and I wasn't sure if the snow would stop me from being able to.

Yes the pathways stay clear but the snow will stick later.
It first the snowballs will get smaller on your pathways. Later the snow will stick to the pathway and the snowballs will get bigger.
The snow finished a month ago in my 2nd town. I noticed that it didn't cover as much as my main town did.
It did make it easier to make snowpeople. Lots of places to make the snow balls smaller.
