Another once-in-a-lifetime event is possibly coming soon to Fortnite: Battle Royale.

Televisions all over the Fortnite island are displaying a countdown below a “Weather Warning” advisory. The warning hints that players are going to be dropping into a snowstorm, since the TVs display snowflakes all over the screen.

The line of text saying, “bread and milk sold out,” means that the storm might be so strong that players may have to stay indoors during the snowfall, much like blizzards in real life.

The countdown itself shows that an event is set to happen in less than two days. At the same time, it’s unclear whether the event involving snow will be a gradual build-up before the climax or if it will just drop out of nowhere. The last time a countdown could be seen on the TVs was in season four when a rocket was launched into the sky from the villain’s lair outside Snobby Shores.

All of this may have to do with the Ice King sphere that’s floating above Polar Peak. A few days ago, the season seven finale scene was supposedly leaked, and the Ice King could be seen holding a dark cube similar to the one that traveled around the map in season six.
