I had a theory that one of the areas represented the anartica, And this confirms it

Holy Shit!! I remember seeing screenshots of a Convo a gamer had with someone in Rockstar Support. The gamer asked for a clue for the location of the 3rd meteorite & the guy from rockstar said that the only clue he could find was of a "glowing Green lake" but he didn't know the exact location of the lake. I have the post saved if no one knows what I'm talking about.

You should totally link this post in the comments of the saved post you’re talking about. Dude is probably still looking 😂

A lake? In snow? It should be frozen. Maybe the light is indicating something to find? For instance the neanderthal guy? 👀

If lakes freeze anytime there is snow on the ground, explain why Lake Michigan doesn't freeze over.

u/Wigger_Aesthetic Oct 05 '24

Lake Michigan is way too big to freeze over completely. It would take like 100 years of constant subzero temperatures for that to happen

u/GeneralAny1973 Oct 10 '24

Michigan, like most of the great lakes, can mostly have its surface frozen, certainly enough to skate on. It's true the undercurrent doesn't freeze solid as it's too deep, but it'd take far less than 100 years for it to freeze completely solid

u/Wigger_Aesthetic Oct 15 '24

the more you know I guess. didnt think a lake that big could freeze solidly. Ive seen videos of Ice in the lake by Chicago, but it was chunks, not like a solid flat surface.

turn your mini map off. if you're gonna roleplay, go hard.

Thanks, old sport.

It's happened to me too, nothing seems to happen interacting or such, I believe it's a misplaced greenlight from the oil refinery.

Also lakes tend to show green. It's an actual geographic fact that lakes and pond ice lean towards green, while wetlands make yellowish/brownish.

u/ZanzTheMan Sep 19 '24

nah this was different.

u/heroicduckmods Oct 08 '24

I got it to appear on singleplayer on PC today, took me a bit to replicate. You need to come from a storm, let it pass then head on the path of colter (make sure to save) then it'll fog up, the chance of green appearing is 1 in 20 attempts, I haven't replicated it further.

Interesting fine, maybe there was a mystery to find or still is.

u/LaTulipeBlanche Sep 19 '24

How many times a day do you get attacked by wolves or bears roleplaying in the snow? Genuine interest. I find the snow areas stressful because of the predators there.

4

u/Wulfgifu Sep 19 '24

When I go up in the mountains, I don't tend to run into that many predators, not multiple times a day at least, but I am usually hunted by bounty hunters so maybe that has something to do with it.

u/piangero Sep 19 '24

Ooooh, how many days would you say you spent up in the snow areas? Did you sleep/camp?

3

u/ZanzTheMan Sep 19 '24

like 4-5 maybe

1

u/piangero Sep 19 '24

Interesting! I wonder if there's like some clues or something that only spawn after x amount of days
