Here is a simple snow effect widget which you can add to your Blogger powered blog in just one click! This widget does not use images to generate the snow effect: instead it uses plain white text (full stops and apostrophes) to act as snowflakes which trickle down the page. You can see this widget in effect here on Blogger Buster over the holiday period.
Click the button below to add this widget to your Blogger powered blog:
This widget was created using the Snow Effect Without Images script by Kurt Grigg which is distributed by Dynamic Drive.
This widget has been tested in both IE and Firefox and also in complex Blogger templates which use many other JavaScripts. Unlike other snow effect scripts, this simple non-image based widget works just fine!
I hope you enjoy using this festive decorative widget in your Blogger blogs! Please let me know your opinions or if you experience any trouble installing this widget by leaving your comments below.

Thanks anyway! :)
cool! i'll try it on my blog straightaway!
thanks for posting this up.
have a wonderful christmas.. :)
Amanda, it's fantastic! Your script is perfect on my black galactic background!
Seasons' greetings,
Monica
It didn't work for me..unfortunately...
I tried it on this blog: www.palm-stuff.blogspot.com with no success...
What am I doing wrong...
I love it!
Wow Great effect!! I tested in my testblog!
Thanks for creating this I tried several different ways to make it snow on my blog.This is the best and so are you.
Love It! Thank You!
Thank you! My kids have been begging for snow this winter (we're currently in Egypt - it ain't gonna happen). They love the snow on my blog!
Snow Effect made our blog almost unresponsive. Removed. Pity.
Amanda
You're great!!! I was looking for something like this yesterday and I think you've read my mind!!!
Thank you!!! :o)
Shoot, I can't get it to work on mine. Oh well, maybe next time!
Thank you, I feel this as my X'mas gift from you.
Have a nice X'Mas, and nice to see you.
This is one of my favorite blog.
Using it on my blog but not this one it's the other one from same site but with images.. it's cool
thank you thank you thank you hope you don't mind but i spread the word about my cool snow on my blog told them to come here and grab "your snowball making machine!"
i'm so surprised that i (and others) made a request for something easy to install/remove and you listened! YOU GET MY VOTE FOR BEST BLOGGER EVER!!!!
It's great. I just updated my template to have a winter look so this addition is perfect timing. Thanks.
Very wonderful. Thank you
I love it. Thanks!!
Thanks for this Amanda.
I think I'll use this on my site.
Thank you!! I love it :)
the snow effect looks great here but i think it adds nothing to a blog . just an opinion .
Happy Christmas to you! The widget looks great.
Ye Gods, this script uses 75-80% client CPU? That's nuts! Not only will it make readers' PCs struggle, their PCs will use more power. Ironic that this snow effect is contributing to global warming.
cute! Merry Christmas Guys!
i never think that blog can be great like this,
great jobs!
Makes my blog all the more festive! Thanks for giving us the heads up about it... very fun to use!
Negative!
I focus on the "75-80%" CPU usage was using when we add it into our blog. What a lagging friendly.
By the way, thanks Amanda because of you remind us "the snow". The weather's damn cold here outside. I have to exercise a little bit at the morning and too lazy to get up!
Hum, lady. I forgot to ask you how was your last Thanksgiving, and what you plant when the Christmas coming. If you need Santa Claus coming i can help. Blogging about technical and tricks so touch, we all want to know about you life and how your social, that much pretty good and interesting for all readers.
And you will be like magnet and charms.

Hey, this is amazing! I really like it. Subtle and really effective. I've seen it on some really awesome blogs (great work everyone)!
I really hate to ask a stupid question, but is this a widget you can remove by going to "Layout" on your Dashboard? I guess I have to install it to see :)

the snow effect looks great here but i think it adds nothing to a blog .do you think so?
yes it does gives the Christmas look!
I am so happy to have this :D
gud tip.

Thanks so much. It's perfect for this month as I added a new header it looks great against.
nice but i think it's not suitable for white coloured blogs! haha XD
can't see the snow at all =P
thanks for sharing! =)
wow, This script is really perfect, thanks for your script, I love it
How do you remove it once the holidays are over?
Its Great Bloggerbuster Is Rocking I Read It Almost Daily For Updates
I love this widget thanks for releasing it! I do have one problem tho, it does look nice when I add it to my blog but, it messes the scrolling up.
It makes it so you can scroll left and right and I don't want it to do that. Anyway of fixing?
I love it! I'm definitely going to try it on one of my blogs.
Thanx for the widgit.....if u do not post it...
i think will get it on next christnas
I love the snow effect... but, how do I remove it after the holiday season? Thanks for your help!
This is really nice! I titled the widget it installs in the sidebar with the url for the guy who wrote the code. Little shout out for a smart creation.
This is supercool! Thank you :)
I'm not able to remove it.it is almost fixed somwhere in my http://hindibharat.blogspot.com.
so how to remove it, Amanda?
It seems to be nice, bloggers can add this as Christmas surprise to their visitors ,I am concerned about how much time it takes to load .
@कविता वाचक्नवी: to remove it, delete the Snow Effect widget. If you can't find that, search for snow.js in your template code (dashboard -> Layout -> Edit HTML).
i love snowing!!!
I really like this, so pretty and not interrupting the reading IMO.
Will there be other effects after Christmas/Winter??
Hey Amanda,
I added the snow script and it works just fine. But can you get something for a white background template? Maybe light blue snow-flakes. It would be simply great for my white background blogs.
Yeah, I've got it working on my blog. Thank you so much for this widget!! XD
Love the snow, but I am having problems with my background picture, it seems to be moving. How do you stop the background picture from moving along with the snow?
This reminds me of the early days of the Internet when everybody was new to webdesign and would clog browsers with every new effect they learned about. First the tag cloud and now this?
I suppose the next blog entry's going to be a tutorial on making glowing text. At the bottom of the page will be a animated GIF that reads "IE ONLY!"
Also, your background is white so aside from slowing down the page (thanks) you can barely SEE the falling snow!
God only knows what other bad netiquette you would pass on to your readers if you ever learned flash.
I beg you to consider substance over bloat in the future.
I have tried to preview this before i can apply it and guess what it took me about more than a minute to load it, i guess i'll have to skip on this one since i don want my reader taking too much time to load
Anyway Merry Christmas Amanda, i really interested to exchanging Blog link with you but well..
thanks! it looks so cute on my blog. :o)
The snow is only visible at the bottom of my blog (partly due to a light background?) and the slider bars are going nuts as snowflakes drift off the right side and bottom. I think it needs work.
Very cool! Thank you!
This is so cool .. the only thing better would be if it had an on/off switch
A great widget :) Thanks for making it! It would be great if the snowflakes were a tiny bit bigger though :)
Just a note, it slows down my slideshows that I have running on my blog...any way to fix that? :(
One of the most creative posts I’ve seen in awhile:) Very informative as well!
Great, I'll install on some blogs now, thanks for it:)
this is kewl!!! just what i'm looking for! i'll place it on my blog..
merry christmas!!

Great widget But can you get something for a white background template? Maybe light blue snow-flakes. It would be simply great for my white background blogs.

I wonder it can change to other beside snow....a cat maybe, that's sure gonna be something funny.....LOL
It's snow! :)
I put it on one of my blogs and it was beautiful. Then I added to a second blog - looked great - then after about 10 minutes it stopped working. Blank widget. Went to previous blog and it was blank there too. Kind of coincidental they both kicked out at the same time. Wondering if it's blogger doing something.
oh geez, I'm losing my mind - snow working fine. It's the rotating tag cloud that cut out. Sheesh!!!!
Thank you for this great widget, which has brought snow to my blog since before Christmas. Only one problem... now that spring's here, I would like to remove it, but can't find a way to. :(
Are you able to help?
Oh, and just a PS - I have two blogs, and I have successfully removed the snow from one, but am not able to remove it from the other. :(
very good thx, can we personnalize this gadget?
Thanks for posting such a useful information.
