[1.7.6.0] Live Weather does not match METAR for NZMF - should not be any snow on the ground or trees

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: Today’s MSFS Discord airport of the day is NZMF. I loaded into the MSFS2024, selected Free Flight, Live Weather, and NZMF as my departure. I was surprised to find snow on the world map, but selected Parking 1 - Ramp GA Small and started the flight. See the following images showing the METAR from NZQN (the closest), snow in the area, and the thermometer from the cockpit. The airport elevation is 10 feet MSL, so weather is likely not significantly different than Queenstown.

Weather settings: Live Weather and Time.
