¶ HOW TO PLAY
/weather Brings up the menu
/weather type - changes the weather manually. Valid types are EXTRASUNNY, CLEAR, NEUTRAL, SMOG, FOGGY, OVERCAST, CLOUDS, CLEARING, RAIN, THUNDER, SNOW, BLIZZARD, SNOWLIGHT, XMAS, HALLOWEEN
/settime Brings up the menu
/settime HH:MM - changes the time manually.
/snow - toggles snow off and on. Weather patterns will follow snow if it is toggled on and it will persist until toggled off
/pauseweather - toggles dynamic weather changes. If paused, it will just stay on whatever weather it is currently on
/forecast - shows the current weather and the next 5 iterations of weather. This is the only command exempt from the restricted setting so anyone can use it
¶ MENU
Change Weather - Choose a weather type to change to
Change Clouds - Change clouds without affecting the weather
Pause Weather Changes - Pause automatic weather changes
Freeze Time - Freeze the current time so time doesn't move anymore (or unfreeze it if it is frozen)
Set Time - Force set time to a specific point in the day
NOTE
When you manually set the weather to XMAS or HALLOWEEN, it will stay on either of those until you manually change it again.
ALSO NOTE
If you manually set it to a snow type of weather, it will automatically toggle snow on. If you then manually set it to a rain type of weather, it will automatically toggle the snow back off.
FINAL NOTE
If you restart the script or the server, it will reset the weather so snow will be off and if you had XMAS or HALLOWEEN set, they will be off, as well.

¶ KNOWN ISSUES
Only that it will conflict with other weather scripts so it cannot be run with any other script that modifies or controls the weather. If you do not disable vMenu weather functionality, the weather will flash and kind of freak out because both scripts are trying to control it.
