It's 2am, Saturday 24th December where I live and I noticed the snow effect after midnight. Definately wasn't here before midnight so perhaps it appears on December 24th?

That's the best I can do for conspiracy theories but I assure you, the snow is happening in my browser here. (Firefox 8.0.1)

The snow script is indeed date dependent.

Code: Select all

var now = new Date();
var dateok = false;
if((now.getMonth() == 11 && now.getDate() >= 24) || (now.getMonth() == 0 && now.getDate() <= 6)) {
	dateok = true;
	if( window.location.href.indexOf("forum") != -1 && (now.getMonth() != 11 || (now.getDate() < 24 || now.getDate() > 26))) {
		dateok = false;
    }
}

So it's only on the day itself? I seem to remember it being spread before.

Interesting. The forum snow appears to have been restricted to Christmas Day +/- 1 only this year, while the rest of the site snows for the full 24th - 6th timespan. I'm pretty sure it didn't just snow on Christmas Day last year. Maybe there were complaints?

edit: fixed snow timespan, because I can't read...

I blame religion.

It's snowwingg. Yayyyy

Down here, the only place to get snow is over the internet, or import direct from the Northern Hemisphere on the back of penguins (which, as we all known, live in the South pole) <:D

I seem to remember from previous years that the snow only works on certain themes

I hate you! Everyone who begged for the snow. -.-

Weather I'm good at aiming or just suffer from my lack of luck, everytime I try to hit a link or button I hit one of those flakes.

Heheh, see what you did there. Or was it accidental? I assume English is not your first language so maybe just happenstance..

And lo! The snow begins for me.
