Snow Flakes Tutorial

This is a neat script to make snow flakes fall from top to bottom of the screen. I started out making this script originally for Halloween. I wanted Ghosts and things to float around on the page but looked more like snow flakes just falling so that is how this script came about. Works real nice and I hope you like.
