Today the Seoul area experienced its first snow of the season, and Naver's web browser Whale celebrated by making it snow on the new tab page.

I tried it this afternoon to confirm. If you run the mouse cursor around the screen, the snow will respond with a sort of hover/get-out-of-the-way response.
Some users on Twitter (including the official Whale account) shared their shots too, including this one that shows the snow animation:

The effect is similar to what Kakao has done within KakaoTalk chatrooms when it's snowed over the last few years.
I like this a lot. It reminds me of the kind of cute whimsy (or a brand of 센스) in technology that Google used to be known for.
