That's how dynamic snow looks.

Nope. It's part of the weather effects. When snow falls, it "collects" on surfaces.

Get texture mods, there are a lot of ugly low resolution Xbox textures in Skyrim.

I've yet to see one that changes dynamic snow textures however.

Well no one cares about it because it's very hard to notice. I'd rather them fix particles going though buildings than do fancy dynamic snow.

Why not both, i care more about this more, i see it way more than the other. Anyway i haven't seen anything for dynamic snowfall textures yet but when the CK is released im sure we will see an awesome weather mod to fix this, though i was glad to hear its a vanilla issue and not some problem with my HDR/Post Process FXAA mod.

I agree...the snow is really bad. The first time I saw it..up on Bleak Falls Barrow...I thought my GPU was going south!

I seem to be the only one who actually thinks it looks fine.

It's not really a texture image at all. The game's object shader is just replacing the usual texture color with a snowy one where the pixel's normal vector is close enough to pointing up (as that's where the "snow" comes from).

Problem is, it's not blending between the two colors at all, so pixels either get full snow color or full regular texture color. This could be fixed in a couple of lines of high-level shader code, but maybe the console GPUs couldn't handle the arithmetic.

Since the aliasing is being generated by the pixel shader, the only things that could reliably counter it are fullscreen supersampling or FXAA (or some other postprocesing AA). I'm using FXAA myself, so this doesn't really bother me.
