Extreme Hills having both snow and rain?
I was expecting Extreme Hills biomes to have just snow and not rain (since it now snows in that biome).
What actually happened was that I saw snow in parts of the Extreme Hills, and other parts rain. I went into F3 mode to make sure it was in Extreme Hills
I guess to reproduce this, you would just reproduce a world and find an Extreme Hills biome, and see if it is both snowing and raining in that biome.
Environment
Windows 8, but this should happen with any version of Windows, or other OS.

Disagreed, MC-192718 is about how it starts to generate more square patches due to precision loss, something not seen here.
This is just reporting the fact that the snowfall in the specified biomes starts are inconsistent heights. (Which is a case of MC-30498; the only problematic thing here is that the transition point is right where the hill top is here, so it waves under and over it for generating snow.)
for certain y value it is supposed to be possible to have snow and rain in Extreme Hills, but looking at your screen shot, something is off. They snow and rain look like theyre on the same y
Might I also include that I also landed on the ground in the rainy parts of the biome, and I didn't hear the rain hitting the ground. I could hear other sounds though, so it's definitely off. In 13w36a, the Extreme Hills only had snow in it (from my point of view. I may have not looked that well enough, despite deeply examining it.).
Extreme Hills
Snow at high elevations of over y=95
Snow may now generate depending on Y level, with noise variation
I'm not sure how the calculation works for deciding if it's rain or snow, however this could be chunk dependent which it appears in that screenshot. If a block is found to be of appropriate height in this chunk then snow, else rain?
I think blocks above the cutoff are randomly chosen to be snowy (and higher blocks are more likely to be snowy).
Why not keep Extreme Hills and EH+ snow-free while Extreme Hills M and EH M + could be snowcapped?
People who like to build on top of mountains would like to have snow-free mountains as option: http://redd.it/1nn81n
