Can anyone shed some light on how I might be able to add snow? On every wiki the page File:Wiki-background contains the wiki's background. Download the photo from this page, it will be useful.

Now, look through Google images or a similar service for "transparent snow fall gifs". Here's one of a good quality:



Next, go to lunapic.com and go to "Quick Upload" then upload the static wiki background from before then go to Effects>Blend_two_images and upload your gif, then resize it so it covers the whole wiki background. After that you can click "Apply", download the result and you're done!

So suppose your wiki background was this:



The overlay of this background and the snow gif I showed would be this:



Now the exact background you use would be different of course, and you might even choose a different gif overlay, but this is the overall process.
