Google's 'Let It Snow' feature makes Web winter wonderland

By Mike Snider, USA TODAY

If you are longing for some snow to get you into the holiday season, Google has an app for that.

Boot up Google Chrome and head to Google's home page, then type in "Let it snow" and the flakes start falling. Let it go long enough and your screen clouds over and you can use your mouse like an ice scraper. Or simply hit the "Defrost" button that appears.

This wintry touch comes after Google's popular "barrel roll" Easter egg from last month that makes your screen do a 360.

Like that fun feature, the "Let It Snow" app worked on Mozilla's Firefox browser but not on my version of Internet Explorer.
