  • Comment Southcentral Alaska (where I'm from) seems to remain white year-round, which isn't correct. Not sure what's happening in that bit of the animation. Calliopejen1 (talk) 01:57, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose There's some serious noise problems, which makes it look like central Australia is getting snow (in the middle of Summer!!). --liquidGhoul (talk) 03:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Too small to be useful. Also, this is a poor map projection to depict the whole world, causing large distortions. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 08:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Alvesgaspar and liquidGhoul, much too small and noisy to be FP.D-rew (talk) 20:02, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like I remember something almost exactly like this being nominated before.D-rew (talk) 21:56, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. First of all, the aforementioned noise problems. Second, we need to know what year this is, as snowfall is different every year. Having a clock showing what month it is would be good, as it would let me know the southern hemisphere isn't being completely ignored. Finally, it would be nice to see it sped up - it's not like each frame confers needed information, it's the whole movement that matters. --Golbez (talk) 20:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
