Day 23,

Day 1 of 2022's Advent Calendar thingy saw the arrival of The Snow Plough, and for each year following it has had pride of place under each calendar... transporting visitors to some other Calendars hosted on Neocities and beyond.

The falling snow had been spotted on Mima's Calendar for that year, and the snowplough image found elsewhere via Google Images, but the idea came from my highschool back in the 90s, where in the computer lab at Christmas, each computer (running on Windows NT) was blessed with a screensaver of sorts; complete with falling snow, and a snowplough clearing away the build-up. My version was somewhat crude in that it was just a falling snow animation and the snowplough travelling across.

But behold!

The falling snow I spotted over on PhailSnail's Day 1, and I admired how it landed properly at the bottom of the screen and began to build up. I needed this snow! I found the instructions here.

With the aid of ChatGPT I got the snowplough to shift the snow. There was lots of too'ing-and-fro'ing with some tweaks breaking the whole thing - we got there in the end!
