Snow script

I've seen many javascript attempts to create snow falling on a page. Some of them are less than remarkable. I've just put up my annual snow page which uses the one I like best.





The innards of the script list CREDITS: Snowmaker Copyright (c) 2003 Peter Gehrig. All rights reserved. But the very next line reads: Distributed by http://www.hypergurl.com -- Permission given to use the script on webpages provided that this notice remains as is. It's still available if you would like to pick it up.

Also, there is a post at DynamicDrive that answers the question on how to confine the snow if you don't want your whole page filled with flakes!

I wanted to add a word about the Emily Dickinson letter to her friends the Hollands. You can find the text of the entire letter here. If you follow the link, you'll notice that the letter is tentatively date (3? November 1855), while I date it to (November) 1854. In this instance I have followed the lead of the Holland's granddaughter, Theodora Van Wagenen Ward. Someday in the near future, I hope to complete my biography of Mrs. Ward.
