when the sims are walking in the snow there is no snow traction what so ever even in the sims 2 there was deep snow and the snow covered their feet.. there are no coats or gloves..

And there is a bit snow traction after them, but anyway, we've been waiting for this EP for so long that it doesn't matter for me
Snow is not deep because there had some problems with that.
It is kind of puzzling to see them stand on top of the snow and not see the boots sink in as gravity takes effect. However, it may be the design of the program that does not allow the developer to make it seem realistic. However I came to accept Sims 4 shortcomings, most of the previous packs have shortcomings and I expect to see more shortcomings in the packs to come and I am not hating on Sims 4 but I can only go by what I see. I do like some of the content this EP has and I hope if Sims 5 does come up they do not make the same mistakes with that version.

I noticed those, too. They're very odd.
But like @Goldmoldar, I'm trying to focus on the things that I do like.
The Calendar system is wonderful. It works in a similar fashion to the club system, which I've always liked. Yet, I don't know that it's enough to convince me to buy the pack. I'm still in a wait-and-see stance. There are still quite a few features that the gurus didn't get to in the live stream.
I'm still really bummed about the beaches and the snow, though. I think that TS4 is the only series that promised "blizzards", but they missed the mark. Also, it looks like pool parties didn't make the cut?
I feel like deeper snow is something that should happen randomly at certain times and only in certain worlds. Maybe they will patch it in later, in which case, maybe they can add several different types of snow depths so that you never know just how much is going to fall.
I will say that I'm really glad to see ice-skating because I did not expect it to come in this EP. It's definitely a winter activity that I wanted.
Anyway, I'm not too focused on snow depth but if they add it later as a random possibility that happens in certain worlds, I'd like that.
The snow is flat, but there are coats and gloves.
Check out some tweets explaining their reasoning: SimGuruGrant Discusses Snow Depth in The Sims 4 Seasons
Sims will wear whatever we want them to in the cold and hot weather. It's totally up to you. Yes, they've included coats and gloves: The Sims 4 Seasons: Create-a-Sim Assets

Yeah that looked awful, I don't see how they could have missed that? Maybe they'll fix it in a patch. That on top of the flat snow makes winter super disappointing to me.
It's really annoying
I swear they said the added them but they never mentioned them again.
I like the slipping and the walk style but i feel it'll a get annoying after awhile like the other walkstyles.

And like someone pointed out it looks like a blizzard when you zoom out but when you zoom in then it looks like gentle snow fall. I really feel they missed the seasonal effects this time.
Can sims skate together like in sims 3?** I didn't see anything on the stream

I thought as much but since i just skipped through the stream I thought I might have missed something. It was so perfect to add.
While we can say what bothers us. Tree decorating! I was excited about that part but the animation bothers me, also when they add the topper they do that weird animations again.

I'm assuming it's intential, that snow doesn't fall under a roof, which sounds good in theory, but it looks ugly. It's such an eyesore.

I can agree on that one. It's a little weird, because snow on the porch, also under roof, looks pretty nice for me. There's more on the sides and it's smeard toward the center - it's more smooth.
Yeah. It was listed on the boards as one of the features. At the time, I questioned the purpose of a pool party, because no new pool activities were added to the pack. Now we know why.
I guess that I'll continue to throw "pool" parties the way that I have been all along. Basically, I change everyone into bathing suits with MCCC and I place all of the music and food outdoors. Once the host finally coaxes everyone out to the yard, I lock all of the doors to the house.
