The openweathermap documentation clearly and explicitly say
If you do not see some of the parameters in your API response it means that these weather phenomena are just not happened for the time of measurement for the city or location chosen. Only really measured or calculated data is displayed in API response
That's well and fine but if I'm developing this now and want to be able to read about snow in a few months, how am I supposed to know all of the parameters? Is there an example of the a complete json object with all of the possible attributes so that I can develop against it now instead of brushing it up every time there's a new weather event?
Immediately below the paragraph you quoted, you saw the JSON sample that does not have all fields.
Below that there is a section with the title "Fields in API response" which looks like it contains all of the fields that are available.
