The only downside to the cold should be getting sick and coughing, giving away your position in a small radius. Last time I checked, I don't lose half my blood when I get sick. Until you fix the "blood is health" system this is the only way it can work without everyone logging off when it starts to rain. I get this is less of a game, and more of a simulator, so losing blood from everything needs to be addressed.

I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned, but turning up your HDR from 'Normal' to at least 'High' improves the way nights look, at least on my system. Things went from being a pitch black blob, to being able to see tiny details on grass and light parts on buildings.
