Lock Screen weather widget missing icon for snow weather.

On the Weather wallpaper lockscreen, a few weather related widgets are placed by default. One shows the amount or likelihood of precipitation over the next hour. This has always worked fine with rain, but tonight I got snow for the first time and noticed the icon representing snow is missing, doing a generic white page icon.

I've included a picture of the widget so you know which one I mean.

I've tried removing the weather app from the phone and re-adding it. There was also a minor update to iOS 17, but I've applied it and the bug continues. The phone says there are no new versions to update to.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

Same here. Just did the new update also an still shows that blank page. I live in MInnesota. That page will be around for several months as it only happens with snow. Please fix it. This is an expensive phone to have it looking like it's broken.

the icon for snow also shows a blank page icon on my “current conditions” weather widget for some reason, and there’s also some overlapping text. Restarting my phone doesn’t fix the issue. I’m on 17.1 with a 15 pro

This does not fix the issue. The issue is only with snowfall. Every other weather shows up fine. (Ex. sunny, partly sunny, cloudy, fog, rain) but snow fall only shows the blank missing icon exactly like how the OP showed above.

Apologies, I mispoke a bit in describing the widget not realizing they had names. This second widget I am taking a screenshot of is the bugged widget (I guess it is called "Conditions"). As you can see, instead of a cloud dropping snow like the icon would (based on how the rain one looks), you can clearly see it is the blank page icon. The reason I'm on the drop widget screen instead of just showing it placed was to show I had tried removing the widget and placing it again, only to discover it's also broken in the select widget menu as well as when it is placed.

I just switched to my first iPhone after being loyal to Android - all the way back to the Nexus One. This is not the kind of experience I was promised!

This is annoying, but of course I'm exaggerating. That being said, I woke up this morning seeing the broken icon, but didn't know that it was snowing until I looked out the window.
