After viewing the snow using eight (yes,eight) different browsers, I find that SOME lag is noticable in all of them. With a broadband connection, the snow lag isn't much of a problem unless I return to a specific page after viewing other pages/sites in new windows/tabs and alot of flakes have accumulated at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks if someone has reedited the snowstorm.js recently: fewer flakesMax and a greater decay for the snowCollect have made it far less intrusive!

Anyone experiencing excessive lag may wish to adjust their internet options to disallow active scripting.

Since I'm a big fan of SFX, on the web or in WCIII, I think it should stay (at least for the hollidays or on the main page).

The demo page includes a "stop snowing" option: might it be added (AYEC) for those who dislike snow?

Dude I feel for you. Ontario has gotten crap all for snow too. It's actually raining now. On December 16th in Canada. Freaking unheard of. Anyway, snow lags every now and then in IE but its good for me in FF so do what you want with it XD

I dislike the fact that it uses an extra 1% CPU.

However, I already blocked the snow javascript file using FireFox adblock so it's gone for me. :smile:
