I didn't even notice this. You're right...

I hope there are a lot of extra models to accommodate the winter climate.

OK let's think logically.
First: Do you honestly believe Tripwire would "forget" that most of Stalingrad (The FOCUS of their AAA title) took place during the winter? OK so that's a rhetorical question.
Second: Let's consider the maps we HAVE seen screenshots from. They're all from before the snows hit. So it's then logical to assume that perhaps they're mapping in chronological order. This could hypothetically mean that they're currently working on the snow maps.
Third: RO:OST had maps like Stalingrad Kessel and that newer map that was released in a patch (can't remember the name). So it's not like they don't know Stalingrad had snow. Just have patience young grasshopper.

well, also note that there were indeed vehicles and tanks used during the Stalingrad Campaign, and seeing as ROOST had tanks and ROHOS core gameplay will be similiar to ROOST gameplay, one would expect TW to be including vehicles in the game.......maybe they did just forget about the snow like they've apparently forgotten about the vehicles
:IS2:at this point, i'm not longer "expecting" anything and just waiting to see what happens
edit: btw, i'm not implying that you (hockeywarrior) aren't thinking logically, just expanding on the use of logic in my conclusions

July - Feb is surely 50/50 in terms of "snow vs not snow"?
The harsh winter was late in 1942, and I've plenty of literature featuring photos as late as November showing no snowfall what-so-ever.
That said Hockeywarrior is probably right, and the battle is being portrayed chronologically.

I think a chunk of the community just want that popularised movie/game Stalingrad that's barely scratched the surface...

Wouldn't it be awesome if snow had some other signifigance to gameplay than just different textures and snowfall? Like walking in snow just below your waist would make you move slower but would also allow you to escape enemy's field of vision. Or deep snow could prevent tanks from advancing in certain places or ice covering a river could break resulting in tank to sunking into dark waters?
Also wounds are more fatal in cold and for example bleeding kills quickly. And one more interrogative word. Wouldn't it be nice to have skis? I'm form Finland so it's my natural right to ask for skis when ever snow is present in a game...

I'm hoping that ground texture will affect movement, some sort of friction. Faster movement on roads for vehicles, slower off road. Mud slows everyone down etc...

Damn this is actually a good question. I never even thought of snow. This would be a good idea, defiantly. Just a question, did soldiers on any side ever wear summer clothes during the winter months? Especially the Germans were under supplied so I'd imagine in a snow map you could make some have hate normal outfit and others in the white one and what not. Maybe for the Russians too if they went through the same ordeal.

Seems a lot of the Germans and their allies that were trapped all had a mixture of clothing towards the end from civilian clothes to Russian Valenki that were all stolen.
Before the offensive to crush the Sixth Army began I believe a lot of the Russian troops were equipped with winter gear, but a great many of them did not get the correct items in time.

I fairly believe that there's plenty of maps to freeze one's can off.
Also I guess that TWI wanted to differ the alltime standard that Russia is only snow and ice. There was plenty of fighting without snow. Stalingrad had lots of fighting without snow, as I remember stories from my ancestors who returned from hell.
