How it works

Each flake falls at a terminal velocity set by its size and the air's viscosity, which the temperature slider changes: near 0 °C flakes clump into large, heavy, fast-falling aggregates, while deep cold produces small, dry, slow-falling crystals. Wind adds a steady horizontal drift; gust turbulence layers a randomised sinusoidal wobble on top of it, per flake, so the whole field never moves in lockstep.

Ground profile — a column-height array accumulates depth where flakes land; above 0 °C accumulated snow slowly melts back down.
Avg fall speed — mean vertical speed of all active flakes this frame, in metres per second at the canvas's assumed real-world scale.
