As in, how much snow would you like skyrim to have? Seeing as it's all north and such.

30-40%

Actually, on second thoughts, maybe 40-50. Though I wouldn't say any more. Kinda hard to decide.

No, I take that back. 30-40! Gee, I can't make up my mind, can I?

Skyrim is not really all that far up north. Morrowind was about as far north as Skyrim, and it did not have snow.
Skyrim's mountains would be snowy, but the rest of the province would probably not be covered with snow, except in the winters maybe.

Voted 50% because of all the mountains.

Other

47.3657%

Would be nice to see a mix of snow up in the mountains and maybe just tundra or the like (similar to up north in Canada for example) in other places

maybe like 35-40 percent most as snow will reduce playability for me to a certain degree, I live in a state where we can get snow for like 5 months out of the year and it gets old lol.

Unless the Provence is naturaly higher in elevation compared to everything else.

About half, unless they incorporate seasons. If they do then about 80% in the winter, 30% in the spring and fall, and only the mountains in winter.

25%, but 10 different types of snow (powdery, granular, refrozen, névé, firn, glacier, etc).

Still would not be a 100%, I'm sticking to 50% considering that Skyrim is not very far North, and all of it can't be very, very high mountains...

25-33,33%. Snow is pretty boring to be honest.

50% at the most, and that's just because Skyrim is a relatively mountainous and rocky region.

As for Skyrim being frosty because it's far up north, well, it's not. There's a whole continent to the north of Tamriel called Atmora, the lands where the Nords actually originate from. If there's a place on Mundus that's cold and frosty because it's far up north then it has to be on Atmora, not on Tamriel.

The climate a long Skyrim's coasts should be temperate actually.

The climate in Skyrim would probably be more like the climate in China (cold in the Himalayas, but hotter in the lower parts of the country closer to the sea), than the climate in the northern parts of Scandinavia, America, or Russia.

50%'s a good number in my mind. We have to remember that, geographically, Skyrim is about even in terms of latitude with both Northern Morrowind and much of High Rock, so a good deal of it will be cold, but only parts of it will be truly frigid. However, with how mountainous Skyrim is supposed to be, we can expect a lot of high altitudes that are contrasted by valleys and shores, so I'd say about 50% fits the needs quite nicely and still allowing for other terrain.
