Just an idea for a new biome or sub-biome in the yard.
 
An outside Air conditioner condenser unit that's frozen over, that would introduce a cold/ice/snow area, thus allowing for the usage of cold-weather clothing, snow/ice shoes, as well as the collection of snow/ice and possibly rust/mechanical parts/etc.     

Also, these often attract mice/rats that live inside of them too, for a new type of enemy.

Also - just in case it wouldn't fit, frozen over window air conditioners are a thing too, and there's a window near the hedge that doesn't really have much in front of it, and the hedge itself could be a platform up to the AC unit.

Creating a new biome around a frozen air conditioner condenser unit in the yard is a great idea! This could introduce a cold/ice/snow environment, perfect for using cold-weather gear and collecting unique items like snow, ice, and mechanical parts. Plus, the addition of mice/rats as new enemies adds an exciting challenge. Consulting an HVAC contractor for realistic design elements could enhance the experience.c
