but special effects snow raining down on the page while trying to read? Too much distraction.

Just turn off javascript for that page (you can even turn it right back on again; just refresh the page first, while javascript is turned off, to keep the snowfall script from loading.)

I guess that's why I use NoScript. I get to miss out on things like that.

It's not too bad -- it took me a while to even notice that the snow wasn't confined to the side-bar.

I assume the creator felt it was effectively invisible on the main text area (small, relatively sparse, white flakes against a mostly white background).
