I’ve been looking around for a good falling snow script, as I’m a sucker for cheesy holiday javascript, but everything seems to be from the era of Netscape 6. I even found one on my own domain, but it doesn’t seem to work in Firefox. So where’s the state-of-the-art snow script for web 2.0? Time is running out!
How about this WordPress plugin: http://wpplugins.info/8/snowfall-plugin-compatibility-revisited/
Haven’t tried it, but it looks like it’s working on the site 🙂
Matt, have you checked out http://www.schillmania.com/projects/snowstorm/ ? It’s currently being used by a buddy of mine on http://www.ohmike.com I like this snow script better than the other one’s I’ve seen.
hi Matt!
i saw one at Dynamic Drive. 😀
Good plan! Let’s see some randomly generated alpha-translucent SVG snowflakes 🙂
Now that you mention it I’m kind of fond of those too. A snow-plugin would be really awesome.
… wow…a weatherplugin having your background reflecting the weather where you are… *stops there before he never stops*
Yeah. Looks like a good vintage that script!
There’s http://www.altan.hr/snow/index.html which I’ve seen used on forums… it’s not the best I’ll admit, but I’m sure it can be tweaked easily.

Works great for me – Merry Christmas!
I managed to find one here:
http://wpplugins.info/category/plugins/snowfall/
Tried it out, works nicely, had to disable other plugins to remove an error I had at the top of the screen.
I changed two lines in snow.js
Line 48:
obj.left=left + ‘px’;
obj.top=top + ‘px’;
My suggestion: http://www.schillmania.com/
Click “play” at the top of the page and then choose “Snowstorm”.
Merry Christmas 🙂
This snow scripts are so out…
That’s a problem with this proliferation of semi-compliant browsers, no? …sigh.

Been looking for the same thing over the past couple days.
I like this one: http://www.schillmania.com/projects/snowstorm/
More state-of-the-art than most other snow scripts.
How about http://www.hypergurl.com/snowmaker.html
Seems to work 4 me 🙂
Update try this script, not a plugin but it works good…
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/snow.htm
These below all work in firefox 2.0. Personally I like the first one best, because it’s not too obstrusive.

Here is one that I have used for one of my websites, Matt:
http://www.altan.hr/snow/index.html
See it in action here.
It is verycheesy (what you say you want, right?). Hope this helps! 🙂
Btw, Merry Christmas!
Matt, you can always try Snowy – it generates snowflakes for WordPress.
Hi Matt,
check this one
http://www.xoverip.info/download/3/

Cheers & Happy Christmas

Hey Matt. I have one that’s cross browser and you can add a little holiday message too:
http://www.idunzo.com/snowing/
Just view source and copy the information. Be sure to copy the style sheet and 4 images called from the style sheet too.
Enjoy.
I am using Andy Beard’s version.
http://wpplugins.info/category/plugins/snowfall/
The plugin works with WP 2.3.1 but it depends on the theme and also the browser. Hope this bring the snow you want.
I kinda like this one: http://journal.marisaduma.net/2007/12/22/add-falling-snow-to-your-wordpress-blog/
I’ve got a Flash version… you could do some magic and embed the flash file in your header.
Time is running out, you’d simply wish you had a Christmas according to the Julian calendar like some of us do.
This thing worked for my personal, my project and my work domains last year:
http://wpplugins.info/category/plugins/snowfall/
And it still works in Firefox! 🙂
I found one that work in firefox without image. Its old script thought. http://c.istalker.net/snowpx.js → demo
I wonder if I could find time to cook one of these up an a Firefox extension? Then falling snow everywhere!
These seem to work, I’ve tried them both. No image js and <a href=”http://www.peters1.dk/webtools/javascript/sne.php?sprog=en”using images js. Hope it helps!! Merry Christmas!!!
Ask.com homepage has one. 🙂
how IE3 of you 😀
Wow, the Ask.com implementation is beautiful.
I put the DD one up on my blog. Thanks for the snow reminder Matt. Fun stuff.
I got the Snow Falling Plugin working on my site.
http://softarray.es/2007/12/14/efecto-de-nieve-para-blog/
The one I use in one of my blogs. You can replace “*” (the thint that simulates the snow) with what you want.
I’ve had great success with http://www.schillmania.com/projects/snowstorm/
Merry Christmas everyone!
I just installed the one that Jeff suggested. Totally easy, and I think it looks the best!
That plugin on wpplugins.info is horribly coded, I wouldn’t recommend people use it.
Hmmm, Nice falling snow script, but it does make it kinda difficult to click on any links. I’ve problems with Safari 3.0.4, Camino (latest) and FF (latest) on a mac.
btw; Merry Christmas!

The parent div of the snowflakes is making it impossible to click any links in your posts. 🙂
Woah! Which one do you have implemented right now? Because I can’t interact with anything on your page while it’s on. I had to disable JavaScript before I could even click the comments link to this entry. Not sure if it’s doing that for other people but it is for me.
So which one did you decide on Matt? I like how the snowflakes look, and I would love to use this on my sites as well, if possible. Could you please share a link or some code?
So, how did you do it?
Are you aware that the links above the snow line are not clickable?
Matt, in Firefox 2.0 I can see the falling snow script/plugin you currently have running, but it makes the links in your posts inaccessible (not so in IE 7). I guess I’m missing your point or something, because I don’t get why you’re asking the community where the cross-browser snow scripts are and still running one that’s non-compliant to a large segment of us…?
So I see now you are using the one from ask.com, It looks good.
Yep it was the Ask one, but the invisible DIV totally broke the site. Back to the drawing board…
it works, there is no problem in the script file. but you should check http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ web site. here has have to many script file like this.
Hey buddy. I came across your site before. I love the design!
http://www.schillmania.com/projects/snowstorm/ is the best I’ve seen so far. I used it on my site and it looks quite nice. Not too intensive on the CPU, since it works on my old P3 also.
I turned Scott Schiller’s script into a plugin.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/let-it-snow/
Merry Christmas!
Hey if you visit my blog you can see the leaf falling. I’m not sure if it fits your requirements but you can find snow/leaf fall scripts at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/
Hope it helps! 🙂
Here is my wp-flake plugin, give it a try: http://raz-soft.com/display-english-posts-only/decorative-purposes-plugin-snow-effect-on-your-wp-blog-wp-flake/
Or search for wp-flake plugin on wordpress, I’ve just added it 🙂
Merry Christmas!
