Sometimes it's just window dressing/seasonal flavor. Sometimes (a blizzard or flooding or what have you) it's the/an  "encounter" all on its own.I basically just keep track of the days (for the purposes of tracking how long/far the party travels, regaining of spells, etc.) so I know, roughly, when one season turns to another. But I don't usually mark down weather notes from day-to-day. Suppose I could, but I usually just "tik" down the days passing, not actual note/entries from each game day (unless something significant happens or the party is on a deadline -"must rescue the princess before the next new moon, in 4 days, or all is lost"- or something like that.) Some regions have repeating/common storms or rain. Some regions have 4 seasons, some 3. General terrain feautres, like places close to water getting/having more regular precip and higher winds, the occasional more furious storm than inland. Very high elevations (and those more north/closer to the arctic regions) are more prone to snow than lower (more south). Swamps and lowlands that are prone to [thick] fog...Just general weather patterns and seasonal parameters. Not a "day by day" thing. I can usually keep things "common sense" and recall that if there was a big rain storm two days ago, I'm not going to have it rain again/right away (though sometimes, in spring, rain in some region may last 3-5 days in a row. The PCs usually hate that! Slogging through rain and mud is not nearly as fun as snow. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />--SD</blockquote>
