Ah I was just being impatient. I’m not saying it’s not a well done effect, it just seems a little pointless and not ideal in a blog talking about design
To their credit there is a button in the top navigation menu that turns off the snow.

I think it’s a joke about (or rather, a dig at) night mode. I’d seen the blog and that “dark mode” on a previous post about syntax highlighting where he’d mentioned he preferred light mode.
I love how that page adds snowfall over itself… Cluttered, distracting snowfall.

They also use a snowflake icon for light\dark mode rather than, you know, toggling the distracting falling element.

It does toggle it. But they don’t disappear, just new ones stop falling in, so the existing snowflakes still need some time to exit the screen.
