Wow, surprising to see this on the frontpage this morning! This is my old script, the better one to use is called snowmachine:

    * https://github.com/sontek/snowmachine
    * https://pypi.org/project/snowmachine/
Which is also on docker, homebrew, nix, etc. It probably makes sense to update the post to link to one of these since they'll provide a better experience

Bug Report: My terminal color settings are a bit unusual and I'm getting yellow snow.
PSA: Never eat the yellow snow
There is a `--snow-color` option :D
It didnt work :(
It has 2 options: light and dark. /s
I thought your handle sounded familiar. You used to hang out in the pyramid irc channel.

Thanks for your help those many years ago.

Pyramid is still the best web framework
Ok, we'll switch to that github link from https://pypi.org/project/snowjob/ above. Thanks!
Hopefully this post inspires someone to take on the snow plow character feature request
I feel inspired to take it on. I have questions on how they pictured it because it could be implemented in quite a few ways.
I've forked it and made changes as well as submitted a pull request to Sontek.

Okay, I have a working prototype of a snowplow idea, it took me a long time to wrap my head around how things were rendered to the screen and how it kept track of snow particles.

Now I am going to work on a few bugs and clean up the code so I can either fork it or submit a pull request.

sontek, thanks for the update, didn't notice that new version. I requested a link change.
