From the update on December 10, 2007:

This year it's cold enough to snow, and it's beginning to settle. Walking outside will leave trails of footprints that last until the snow covers them - be careful about leading any unwanted visitors back to your well-hidden safehouse.

Snow is a weather effect that comes into play in December. When movement is made through the snow, a trail is left behind, including when you enter or leave a building. The message shown is as follows:

You lurch/walk through the snow, leaving a trail of footprints behind you.

If footprints have already been made, then it becomes "following a trail of footprints."

You leave the building, making a trail of footprints in the snow.

Building Description

Thick snow covers the ground.

If anyone has entered the block since snow covered the ground, the full stop of the previous stament is replaced by a comma and the following message appears:

with footprints entering from the x.

When x is the direction in which you travelled.

If anyone has left the block since snow has covered the ground, the previous full stop is replaced by a comma and this stament appears:

and leaving to the x.

If anyone has left the building, then the following message appears:

A set of footprints leads out of the building.

If anyone has entered the building, the stament above changes to:

Further sets of footprints lead into and out of the building.
