Converting a turfs icon_state in play...

I'm about to fall asleep, so bear with me...

turf
Grass
icon = 'Grass.dmi'
Normal
icon_state = "Normal"
Snow
icon_state = "Snow"
Tree
icon = 'Tree.dmi'
Normal
icon_state = "Normal"
Snow
icon_state = "Snow"


How would I go about doing this, for example:
It's Fall(Normal), after a minute in game it becomes Winter(Snow), as it is in Winter, there is a random chance of it snowing, and in Fall there is a chance of raining?

Any help would be appreciated, and good night or good morning, I don't know which cause my clock is a blurr.

I'm so bored:

var/season
proc
    weather()
        if(season == "summer")
             for(var/turf/T in world)
                 T.icon_state = "summer icon state"
        if(season == "winter")
             for(var/turf/T in world)
                 T.icon_state = "winter icon state"
//You get the idea now

proc
    randomweather()
        for(var/turf/T in world)
            if(T.icon_state == "winter icon state" && prob(50))
                T.overlays += "snow"//whatever you have your snow icon as


Now make that into your own code, and make it work the way you want it to, and you're set.

Thanks Nadrew, I could have done alittle of that if I hadn't not slept for about 2 days like I had.(does that sound right? heh)
