You can go to your personal settings page and hide the snow everywhere you go.

http://wordpress.com/?holidaysun=please will turn off snow for you on all blogs.
http://wordpress.com/?holidaysun=nothanks will re-enable it.

A lot of people come to my blog via Google and are not regular readers. As much as I love the snow, I want to offer visitors a choice

From what I understand though, iOS is very picky about what javascript it will let run, most like because of high processor usage (which means heavy battery drain). I don't know that this is the case with the snow not showing in the iPad, but I would suspect it is. On my laptop, when I've viewing a site with snow, my computer's processor is running at 70-80% and after a minute or so, the fans on my laptop sound like a C-130 at take-off and my processor temperature has climbed by 35 or 40 degrees. Applying an unsharp mask to a large photo in Photoshop doesn't do that.

It tells how to turn it off on your site and also how you can turn it off for yourself on all wordpress.com blogs.

It's a wonderful feature that has become part of the Christmas season for me. Thanks again!

Where is the "prevent snow" link for readers who may have problems with the snow slowing down their computers? Last year's WordPress blog post had a link for them to stop the snow. I incorporated it into a widget that I put on my blog, but the link now takes me to my dashboard's personal settings page. Some readers may not be WordPress members.

Of course, they may have it turned off for smartphones and tablets, because it requires a good chunk of processing power.
