Snow falling code

I'm using the following code for my forum. Is there a similar code for newsmug?

I haven't come across anything like that. As it's all javascript i know what you have there won't work on our system. There may be something with html that would work similar but again, I haven't come across anything like that yet.

This site has a pure CSS method of animating falling snow in the background that should work:
