Cold-Weather Friend Achievement Guide

Cold-Weather Friend Achievement can be completed by building snowmen. Magic Snows are found throughout cities during Wintersday 2012. You can interact with them with the Build Magic Snowman action, which will summon a snowman and spawn 5 Snowballs. Creating snowmen will progress the Colder-Weather Friend achievement. The magic snow can be interacted with again after a period of time and are reset on a per-character basis. In the list below you can find all locations with screenshots.
