Google Search Page Adds Snowy Fun

Google is helping searchers get into the holiday spirit by offering a sprinkling of snow on their computer monitor.

Type in the words “let it snow" on their search engine and a flurry of snowflakes float down the screen, followed by frost. You can wipe away the frost with your mouse -- click-and-drag like you would use your finger on a frosty window. Press the "Defrost" button, which appears in place of the "Search" button to clear the screen.

The snow effect comes a month after Google unveiled another surprise dubbed “do a barrel roll”: When entered, the words cause the search screen to flip over like a fighter pilot executing an in-flight barrel roll.

For more Google fun, type in "askew" and see what happens.
