Reach has lots of fir trees, and it seems to have a lot of forest (not jungles like in Africa, more like in Europe). The only part of the planet not glassed are the Highland Mountains, so its possible that the higher the altitude gets, the colder it gets, and there could be snow in parts.
The Covenant are glassing the world all around so the skies would be gradually changing color from blue to orange, thick with black smoke. The Covenant are also excavating near Menachite Mountain, so its possible that the heavy plasma use would melt the snow in that area.
I kind of wanted an open world environment first... I made a map of the Highland Mountains placing existing locations from the novels and locations invented by me together, but then I remembered how large the Highland Mountains were (dozens of miles across, too big for a game. Crysis was only like in-game 5 miles, I believe) so my idea evolved into this
