Get a new PC or upgrade the memory, I suppose Angela just wanted to inflict snow on the rest of us. All we have had so far is a bit of frost.

You offering to buy me one?? ;D As for upgrading the memory.... yeah, I could do with a bit of that myself! I'm having all my "senior moments" early. |

Anyone grumbling about the snow needs a dose of festive cheer. Now careful or your stockings will be empty on Christmas morning.

Don't blame my snow for that  Ok maybe it slows it up a bit, but it's Christmas. Don't be a Scrooge Yup, It's the snow. I've disabled javascript in the meantime... If you must have it, could you set the timeout to 30 seconds or something so it'll stop and increase the per snowflake animation timeout from 1/100th of a sec to something reasonabe like 1/10th or 1/20th of a second? When you start running code like that on other people's computers you're making the assumption that they're not already doing something useful with the 512mb of ram and 2Ghz CPU that they have available to them... Tell you what. Hit crtrl-alt-del and choose the task manager. flip to the 4th tab and have a look at the CPU utilisation when the snow's running. |

I like this snow, I don’t have to clear it up, or wrap up warm to experience it. My CPU usage goes from 4% to 10% when the flakes come. And that is while I am doing other more interesting stuff.
This could end in an unfortunate snowball fight. When the weather improves will it become slushy and horrible?

Mr. Precision I have little doubt it's the snow. However it makes it more festive, unlike your Scroogey technobabble. You're gonna get a lump of coal in your stocking! Ask for more ram for Christmas. And don't visit other websites when you should be concentrating on mine ;D It only uses 1-3% on my computer too. |

It's not the RAM anyway, if you're not getting huge hikes it might be the version of the web browser. |

My work PC runs it fine, 4% CPU usage and that's with all my systems running in the background.

Ali ali aster snow snow faster (there is a tune to this, along the lines of iambic pentameters [tum te tum te tum])
