snowflakes.js

import Snowflakes from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/magic-snowflakes';

// always run
new Snowflakes();

// OR use date
// month in JS dates are zero-based
const currentMonth = new Date().getMonth() + 1;
const currentDay = new Date().getDate();

// run from december 6th to january 15th 
const isOkForDecember = currentMonth === 12 && currentDay >= 6;
const isOkForJanuary = currentMonth === 1 && currentDay <= 15;
if (isOkForDecember || isOkForJanuary ) {
  new Snowflakes();  
}

So here is my disable snow automation and weird, it seems to have worked and changed the file name but for some reason the snow still shows on my dashboard....

**EDIT: I think clearing the cache fixed it lol, but only on the HA app, still won't go away on the web but I assume its a different caching issue there.

alias: Turn off dashboard snow when not snowing
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: "{% if not is_state('weather.forecast_home', 'snowy') %}true{% endif %}"
condition: []
action:
  - service: shell_command.disable_snowflakes
    data: {}
mode: single

Yes that is because of the cache, search how disable the cache in your browser (e.g. in google chrome you can press F12 and then go to Network tab and select "Disable cache")

Hello all, glad to see that this is still used. I updated the gist to add date checks so the snowflakes can be scheduled one in code for those that want to set this and forget.

Perfect! Will update the code now forsure.
