maxSize: 50, - Sets the maximum size of snow flakes.
newOn: 400, - Sets the frequency of snow fall, increase the number to have flakes fall more often and decrese the number for the opposite effect.
flakeColor: '#ffffff' - This sets the color of the flakes.You can change it to text like this : flakeColor: 'red' to make the flakes red, you can also use Hex Colors.This is usefull if your blog has a white background, you could perhaps change the color to grey or off white.Something like #ddd or #ccc would be a good option.
