No more snow in GTA Online in latest update

Snow and the following Festive Surprise 2022 events have now been removed from the latest update in GTA Online:

• Snowmen collectibles
• The Gooch random event
• The Weazel Plaza Shootout random event
• Certain limited-time adversary modes like Beast vs. Slasher

Another notable thing about this snow is that it affects vehicle top speeds and traction.
