Those white specs you see drifting across the screen aren’t eye floaters or Don rubbing his dandruffy beard atop the logo, they are digital snow, courtesy of WordPress. They give folks with WordPress-hosted blogs the option of turning on the snow when the holidays draw near. We had it on at the tail end of last year and liked it, so I’ve flipped the switch again for 2011. I say let it snow, let it snow, let it snow – at least on the blog. I’m driving a Mini Cooper convertible these days and I haven’t thrown my snows on yet!
Anyway, enjoy the flakes, and whatever you do, DO NOT think of Don rubbing his dandruffy beard every time you see them! 🙂

It’s snowing bears, hallelujah it’s snowing bears…hey hey.
Don sings that all the time!
I thought about putting the flakes on when I saw it posted on WordPress, but decided not to join the crowd. 😉 Be aware though that on some systems and some browsers, the users see a constant flash of updating in the bottom status bar, which can be subliminally annoying.
We put the snow tires on last month, just had another few inches drop just yesterday. We usually put the snow tires on when the wife gets a hankering for stout every year.
Quite the nice barometer you have there, Will. Mine are going on this or next weekend. I should be okay until then (I hope).
She mainly likes drinking stouts when the temperature starts to drop, and when that happens in Denver, snow usually isn’t too far away.
I love the snow. It just makes the site Jollier! If only they could make those flakes bear shaped!
