Then select Disable Holiday styling:

No more snow or leaves or whatever else will be coming in that way.

I like the snowflakes but then I am in Arizona now.

Thank you for allowing us to switch this off - it is distracting and can make things difficult to read.

I love it, I am enjoying it, I am from Washington State, now living in New Zealand, so I really miss the snow, especailly around this time of year. Thank you.

This should bring an end to the "Please disable the snow" topics in the feedback forum.

Thanks!

I second this. Nothing against snow ...lol being from Minnesota. But I do not need to see it on the forums.

Snow is usually considered to be COOL. I changed my avatar to fit the snow cap.

 

[Anthony Lanius]

We got snow here in Tennessee...I hope it's the last of it here! Living in the "boondocks" it's hard to love snow. We can get stuck out here for weeks.

 

[Lost Witness]

I absolutely LOVE Snow,
Was Hoping we'd Get 4ft like last year here.
there's still time

 

[FreeinChrist]

Buffalo sure got a bunch of snow!

Thanks for the info! I've been leaving the holiday styling on, but I've had to turn it off now, because I find that the masks that are part of the New Year's Eve style ruin the avatars. If the New Year's Eve style just had the fireworks, and the bunting on the forum pages, that would have been fine (and I would have left the holiday styling on), but the masks covering the avatars are going too far for me, as they completely hide the avatars.

 

[Lulav]

I agree, it makes everyone look sneaky. Fireworks and nice though

I like the fireworks, and I would have liked to have kept them. I've always thought that the purpose of the avatars is provide an easy way to recognise everyone, and I think that the masks go against that purpose.

 

[Lulav]

Yeah, they do, it makes everyone look the same and hard to find posts when looking up the avatars.

But I am guessing that they are tied together in the software and can't be separated.

The masks can be turned off, but it’s a site wide setting.

Yes, I've already turned it off , do you know when that one will be gone? And what will be the new one coming up?

So many have developed their own unique views these days, in which alone can get on ones nerves.

Great question! One tip I love is to start by removing holiday-specific items like ornaments and garlands. Then, replace them with more neutral decor pieces. It keeps your space fresh without a total overhaul. Anyone else have tips?
