Be it refuge from the hot summer months, or a reminder of your holiday spirit, Snowplane is the cool way to decorate for the season. Snowplane does one thing, and does it well: it renders beautiful, slowly-falling snow on your Mac OS X desktop. That's all—no fancy 3D graphics card required.

Snowplane was originally designed by Jonathan Grynspan for A Holiday Cocoa Duel (At Ten Paces), a contest where Mac OS X developers wrote holiday-themed software that users could vote for by donating to various charities. The duel is over, but Snowplane remains. If you like it, please make a donation to your favorite charity.
