Great snow effect. Good set of options

It's that time of year where having a snow effect on a website is a nice addition and makes it feel festive. I have been through various plugins to test and found this to have a good range of options to have a unique effect on the site. Between Flakes Number, Falling Speed, Flake Size, and the ability to Show on Specific Pages, this covers a good range of user options. Additionally, rather than adding another top-level menu, it adds itself nicely to the "Settings" menu on the dashboard. All around, highly recommend.
