Weavile should use Low Kick over Brick Break so that it can hit heavier opponents harder; Brick Break's power may not be enough, considering that the majority of Rocks and Steels are rather heavy. The EV spread should be 32 HP/252 Atk/224 Spe, which is just enough to outspeed Therian Tornadus.

Kyurem is a better option over Froslass, IMO, because Froslass is more of a support mon, while Kyurem is more of an all-out attacker:
-Substitute
-Roost
-Blizzard/Dragon Pulse
-Earth Power/Focus Blast
Nature: Modest
EVs: 52 HP/220 SAtk/236 Spe
Item: Leftovers

or
-Draco Meteor
-Blizzard
-Earth Power
-Focus Blast
Nature: Timid/Modest
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Choice Specs/Choice Scarf

or
-Draco Meteor
-Blizzard
-Focus Blast/Earth Power
-Roost/Earth Power
Nature: Timid/Modest
EVs: 32 HP/252 SAtk/224 Spe
Item: Life Orb

or
-Draco Meteor
-Blizzard
-Earth Power
-Outrage
Nature: Mild/Hasty
EVs: 32 Atk/252 SAtk/224 Spe
Item: Life Orb

Hail teams have a tendency to be weak to Stealth Rock, as well as Fire moves. Heatran is a good check to Fire Pokemon, thanks to Flash Fire, while Forretress can Rapid Spin away entry hazards.

-Lava Plume
-Stealth Rock
-Will-o-Wisp/Toxic
-Protect
Nature: Calm
EVs: 248 HP/252 SDef/8 Spe
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire

-Stealth Rock/Taunt/Flame Charge
Nature: Timid/Modest
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire

or
-Overheat
-Flamethrower
-Earth Power
-Hidden Power (Ice)/Dragon Pulse
Nature: Timid/Modest
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire

or
-Overheat/Fire Blast
-Flamethrower/Hidden Power (Grass)
-Earth Power
-Dragon Pulse
Nature: Modest/Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Choice Specs

or
-Substitute
-Torment

-Lava Plume
Nature: Calm
EVs: 244 HP/44 SDef/220 Spe
Item: Leftovers

Forretress:

Pretty much, yeah. Also, Forretress is still worth considering if entry hazards are still bugging you.
Thanks for the quick reply!! You think I have enough defences or should Heatran be defensive? :)

Heatran can't defend the team alone. What's Gliscor doing on the team if you don't mind my asking? As I mentioned, Forretress is a good defender for the reasons I pointed out above.

Heatran + Vaporeon is an awesome combo. Heatran comes in on a super effective Grass attack while Vaporeon laughs at Earthquake (or Earth Power) and Fighting type attacks. You might want Vaporeon to have a slot for Toxic or Protect. Ice Beam isn't a necessity, but sometimes worth it. Since this is a Hail team, you should just let the others attack with Ice.
