And yes, it's all local for now. However i am working on a weather sync mod that will connect to a weather services and set the game weather according to your location

Very interesting as a program. I'll test it right now!

Wow - this is exactly the tool I had in mind as I thought about a new programming project for my free time. I looked up your program.cs on GitHub and as I understood your source code, the program renames the season files from the ini to a unified scs file (depending what season currently is). That means that this "current season scs" file is the only one I have to activate manually in the mod manager and your tool updates it automagically with the current season. Nice. Will try it immediately

Edit: Well, I can't get it to work. I set up my seasons.ini as follows: I had to split the winter because you seem to have forgotten to take the change at the end of the year into account in your example and the program crashed with the message that there was no valid season for day 2 (today).
I named all seasonal scs files to "SEASON - Winter", "SEASON - Spring" and so on in my mod folder to correspond to the entries in the ini.

Very interesting!!

Very intersting, but i have a problem, the Season Changer.exe, the program don't open when i click on... You have an issues ?

This is indeed a topic i would like to follow as the mod develops further .
Keep up the good work.
