Google always seems to be trying new tricks to keep people coming back. This latest one is very very cool. Go to google.com and in the search box type let it snow. Watch what happens. Keep watching for a minute to get the full effect.

very cool!
It won't work for me! Why won't it work for me?
Love it!
doesn't work for me either grrrr
SusanB it didn't work for me either. Are you on a Mac?
Me either. I'm windows.
Everytime I try to use google.com it automatically redirects to google.ca. What is it?
It starts snowflakes on your screen then starts to cloud up a bit, a little button comes up and says 'defrost' and clears your screen of 'frost' and snows again. Very cute!
SueEllen - on google.ca, if you scroll down to the bottom, you can click on google.com and it will redirect you there.
Don't type "snow," type "let it snow", and hit search.
I missed the guitar one they had a few months ago so I'm glad I caught this one. I love things like this.
Doesn't work on iPad :(
It didn't work on Internet Explorer but it did work on Chrome
Mac OS folks .. especially older OS .. try using Firefox.
I tried it right away on Safari when I saw EL's post .. and it didn't work. After much "Why me!! I never get to have anything fun happen!! Whaaaaaa!!!" .. I remembered I also have Firefox on here .. D'oh!!
So went in on Firefox And VOILA!!
i tested it.. it only works on Chrome.. Not on Explorer or Firefox.
It works for me on Firefox.

then do a search... another cool thing though not by the google peeps...
Works for me using Firefox, but not IE.
Awww, I love Google. Did you see that you can use your mouse when it's frosted to make a smiley (or whatever)?
Read this article about the other little hidden gems. I feel like Steven Hawking just explained the universe using legos.
