About this page
After we started using the Dorian Grey II applet with animated images I quickly realised that it would be possible to produce two applets one on top of the other.

We had already experimented with the ALC Snow applet and I decided to try using both together to produce the effect of snow falling on a lake.

Dax was convinced I was wasting my time but I figured that if I speckled the source of the lake applet with just the right amount of snow then, because of the ripples in the lake, no one would realise that the snow over the lake reflection would be actually falling upwards!

So here, duplicated on this page, is the Web's original Snow Lake applet. We originally produced it back in 1998 and followed it soon after with a tutorial. We soon saw many others doing the effect and there were other tutorials on doing it too! (None, I think, as good as my original.)
