Hello Nexus,
Below is a quick list, in load order, to turn your skyrim in to the cold and harsh place that it always should have been.

***Note
If installing more texture, make sure no landscape textures are added, I:E Blended roads, as it will
conflict with the winter overhaul.
Remove or decrease grass in ini for best results.
I hope someone out there finds this useful as it took me some time to find the right order and mods to make my image of skyrim come true.
