//! Snow falling over the test scene: flakes with a sideways flutter, drifting with the wind, and
//! the haze of the flakes too small to see.
//!
//! `cargo run --release --example snowfall`
//!
//! `ELEMENTS_PRESET=Blizzard` picks the heavier preset; `ELEMENTS_HOUR=23` pauses the clock at
//! that local hour (for screenshots).
