Every block on the page grows a white lip along its top edge, thicker the longer you leave it, and the search field ends up wearing a little cap. The drifts along the bottom build unevenly depending on where the wind pushed the flakes.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Wipe the glass<\/h2>\n<p>Wait about ten seconds first, otherwise there is nothing to wipe. Once it has properly frosted, hold the mouse down and drag. You get a smeared arc, not a clean window, and it refreezes slowly at the edges while snow keeps landing in the gap you made.<\/p>\n\n<h2>It was a December thing<\/h2>\n<p>The trick ran over live results one winter and got switched off with the rest of the seasonal features. That has not slowed the searching down. Google snow, google snowfall, snow google trick, let it snow google easter egg, and every scrambled version of the phrase people half remember, still turn up every year around the same fortnight.<\/p>\n<p>There is no matching rain version, though people go looking for one. For weather with a fan behind it, <a href=\"https:\/\/icon-era.com\/statistics\/google-fan\/\">google fan<\/a> moves air across the same kind of layout, and <a href=\"https:\/\/icon-era.com\/statistics\/google-underwater-easter-egg\/\">google underwater<\/a> puts the whole thing in water.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Does the frost affect the page?<\/h3>\n<p>No. It is a layer over the top. Clearing it changes what you can see and nothing else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n#ie-snow{--blue:#1558d6;--blue2:#4c86f0;--blue3:#a9c4f5;--deep:#0b3aa0;--slate:#5b6675;--mist:#98a2b3;--rule:#dde3ec;--wash:#f2f6fd;font-family:ui-sans-serif,-apple-system,\"Segoe UI\",Roboto,Arial,sans-serif;color:#1a2230;line-height:1.66;margin:0 auto}\n#ie-snow ul,#ie-snow ol{margin:0 0 15px 20px}\n#ie-snow li{margin:6px 0}\n#ie-snow a{color:var(--blue);text-decoration:underline;text-underline-offset:2px}\n#ie-snow a:hover{color:var(--deep)}\n#ie-snow .board{position:relative;width:100%;height:min(70vh,600px);min-height:420px;border:1px solid var(--rule);border-radius:10px;overflow:hidden;background:#fff;box-shadow:0 10px 26px rgba(21,88,214,.1);touch-action:none}\n#ie-snow .board canvas{position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%;outline:0}\n#ie-snow .readout{display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:16px;justify-content:center;margin:12px 0 0;font:600 13px ui-sans-serif,\"Segoe UI\",Arial;color:var(--slate)}\n#ie-snow .readout b{color:var(--deep);font-size:15px}\n#ie-snow .row{display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:9px;justify-content:center;margin:12px 0 20px}\n#ie-snow .tap{background:var(--blue);color:#fff;border:0;border-radius:8px;padding:12px 20px;font:700 14px ui-sans-serif,\"Segoe UI\",Arial;cursor:pointer;box-shadow:0 4px 12px rgba(21,88,214,.25)}\n#ie-snow .tap:hover{background:var(--deep)}\n#ie-snow .tap:active{transform:translateY(1px)}\n#ie-snow .tap.pale{background:#fff;color:var(--blue);border:1px solid var(--blue3);box-shadow:none}\n#ie-snow .tap.pale:hover{background:var(--wash)}\n#ie-snow .stick{display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(3,54px);gap:7px;justify-content:center;margin-top:10px}\n#ie-snow .stick button{background:#fff;border:1px solid var(--blue3);color:var(--blue);border-radius:8px;height:46px;font:700 17px ui-sans-serif,Arial;cursor:pointer}\n#ie-snow .stick button:hover{background:var(--wash)}\n#ie-snow .stick .gap{visibility:hidden;border:0}\n#ie-snow .curtain{position:absolute;inset:0;display:grid;place-items:center;background:rgba(255,255,255,.93);text-align:center;font:700 20px\/1.45 ui-sans-serif,\"Segoe UI\",Arial;color:var(--deep);cursor:pointer;z-index:4;padding:18px}\n#ie-snow .curtain em{display:block;font-style:normal;font-weight:500;font-size:13.5px;color:var(--slate);margin-top:5px}\n#ie-snow .typein{display:flex;gap:8px;justify-content:center;margin-top:12px;flex-wrap:wrap}\n#ie-snow .typein input{border:1px solid var(--blue3);border-radius:8px;padding:11px 13px;font:600 14px ui-sans-serif,Arial;width:min(280px,70%);color:#1a2230}\n#ie-snow .typein input:focus{outline:2px solid var(--blue2);outline-offset:1px}<\/style>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frost: buildingDeepest drift: 0cm Heavier snowfall Ice it over Defrost Clear the drifts It settles on the results Not just the floor.
