I noticed in the 2017 Lionel catalog that the Polar Express now has snow-covered roofs and foot-prints in the snow, and color graphics in the windows of the key characters. Is this new for 2017? Is this new with LionChief? Or has this been the case already?

This is the first time in O Gauge that the snow has been put on the roofs. It was first issued on the S Flyer a few years back.
I use this on my PE cars. Placed randomly on the roofs it looks pretty good. Available from your favorite online auction site.
Good idea with the snow patches Tom. 
The color detailed characters instead of silhouettes only are new. I like those more than the snow. Both are some nice changes. The big change for me is the bluetooth control. My grandchildren are rough on remotes, but take care of their iPads.
Wonder if they will make matching hot chocolate and disappearing hobo cars with sNow on the roof?....
