Oh men and women of passion
Follow your edge
Do not wait for it to find you
Look to what disturbs you, unnerves you, alarms you
Run from what makes you fat and content
There is always an edge
Go to it now and refuse to leave
Liberate yourself from the tyranny of comfort
Follow your edge unto your very death
And you will leave this world a brighter place

The SnowStorm class extends Sprite. It produces the appearance of a snowy blizzard within its boundaries, and can be layered over other display objects to create the appearance of the blizzard against any backdrop. This class is designed to be easily instantiated, deployed, and fully configured at run-time, within the context of an object-oriented Flash or Flex application. It is efficient and lightweight; it requires no external libraries or assets and utilizes the lowest level display class possible: Sprite.
