Script Coding
Here is the code required.
Simply copy and paste it into a Insert > HTML Code box,
then publish.

Note: I highlighted the line of code that you can
modify if you want it to "rain" instead of "snow"

He also has other variables that allow you to change the sumbol used,
and the amount of rain or snow that appears.

And, if you look even further, you can even control the speed & angle!
