General Overview

Winter Overhaul 2019 makes the following changes:

- snowy and snow storm weather in all regions and worldspaces

- shorter daylight hours

- replaces all non snow textures with snow via CK (mountain trim, roads, bridges will all have snow)

- all buildings are covered with snow including matching LOD.  Better Dynamic Snow is compatible and highly recommended!

- landscape has snow everywhere and matching LOD. Snow re-textures should be compatible.

- features snowy trees by Vury and Mathy79

- Real Snow HD 2K is highly recommended for this mod.  Again, special thanks to Luxor8071 for perms to use them for this mod

- compatible with Wet and Cold.  Wet and Cold users should enable the "winter" mode in the MCM (game mode, change default to winter).  NOTE:  not sure if this option is available in SSE

- this mod changes all vanilla trees and most plants and is therefore NOT compatible with other tree and flora overhauls.  As o
