There are no mods required to run this script.

1) Place the ROS_Snowstorm folder into your mission folder
There are sample 'quick install' files in the 'Instructions and sample files' folder in ROS_SnowStorm. You can merge these with your existing files or just place them in your mission root. If you use the 'quick install' files you don't need to do steps 2,3,4 below.

2) Place the following line in your Description.ext file under CFGSounds:
#include "ROS_SnowStorm\CfgSounds.hpp"

3) Place the following line in the Description.ext file:
#include "ROS_SnowStorm\missionparams.hpp"

4) Place the following command lines into your init.sqf:
[] execvm "ROS_SnowStorm\scripts\ROS_SnowStorm.sqf";

5) Set the mission overcast start value to around 0.45 in Eden Weather settings

6) Optionally add a Weather Report to a laptop
Place the following command into the init field of a laptop or similar device
this addAction["<t color='#3399ff'>WEATHER REPORT</t>", {hint WeatherReport},[], 1, true, false,"","WeatherReport != '' && _this distance _target < 4"];
