There was this web developer trend during the holiday season where home pages would have snowfall when users visited their sites. Sadly, the trend passed away, but you can still snow on your Linux or freebsd desktop if you want for fun https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-xsnow.html

It's ironic that today this would actually work out a lot better than it did then, lol. On today's CPUs the snow would probably be easy, but back then it could really make a page struggle to handle well on any but the most powerful CPUs and probably irritated a lot of people.
