     It's not broken in the sense that it runs. However it's scale is way 
off, if the scale was right, scorn would instead of being patchy rain, 
have larger areas of rain, and the chance of there being a sunny day in 
scorn is much greater. At the current scale, the weather has too much 
granularity, wet areas are wet, dry are dry, etc. however the chance of 
there being no rain or snow anywhere in scorn at a given time is too 
low, because though small patches may be without rain/snow, patches of 
random sunniness should cover larger areas, at least as big as all of 
scorn usually. (and my sunniness, I don't mean map brightness, I mean 
lack of rain/snow at a time)
