[MC-241216] Terrain blending of old worlds has sharp boundaries for snow on windswept hills

When upgrading old worlds, the terrain blending has sharp snow borders on the windswept hills.

To reproduce:
1.Create a world in 1.17.1 with seed 3. (This seed has windswept hills near spawn.)
2.Load this world in 1.18-pre1 (or other version being tested).
3.Inspect the biome blending at the edges -> No snow on the windswept hills where the biome was blended.

Likely cause: snow turns to rain at a slightly higher elevation in these biomes.

Screenshot was taken with seed 3.

Does this still occur when upgrading from 1.17 to pre-4?

Affects pre-release 4 and pre-release 5.

Attached is a world save, "S3-1171.zip". This world shows the issue after upgrading near the coordinates -48 29 and -14 346.

The world save in this report is referenced in MC-242026 (structures in wrong biome) and MC-241592 (cut off trees) because it replicates issues in both of those reports.

The world save was generated using seed 3 in 1.17.1 and then saving the game without moving from the spawn location.
