Just playing around with a way of adding snow to regular roads without requiring new versions of those roads (either seasonal or permanent snow versions) to be created. It relies on placing a seasonal snow spline over the top of a regular road. The snow displays only if its altitude is higher than the route's environmental snowline. Below that, the snow "melts" (= not displayed), leaving the regular road fully visible. The snow spline is not a road in itself, just an unattached accessory. As such, it does not affect the traffic settings of the road below it.
I am not sure how much interest there might be in this type of thing, but these screenshots illustrate the concept. The road here is a 2-lane, 40ft-wide AASHTO road by gfisher, but the snow can also work on roads by other creators too (maybe not all, but many) depending on their geometry.
EDIT: 12 Dec 2021
The 1- and 2-lane snow splines for roads shown in this thread are now available on the DLS
