A virtual snowglobe for Windows that can serve as a decoration, a desktop toy to play with, and also a clock-calendar when not in use. Features realtime optics effects which simulate the light-bending of the globe's water and plastic shell--distorting the appearance of whatever happens to be viewed through the globe. As with real snowglobes, when the digital snowglobe is shaken (with the mouse), the falling snow is sent into flurries.
