 * 1) There would have to be a control somewhere, like a checkbox or a button, that fits every site's skin and theme.
 * 2) The admins for whatever relevant site would have to load the updated code (which they may choose not to do) unless they load if from a central site like Community and the changes are implemented there.
 * 3) Users would have to turn snow off page-by-page, because the code loads every time a page is viewed, or possibly there could be a cookie, I suppose.

But it really seems like the original authors intended for users to control it through personal js, although it's messy (global pollution mixed with some modularization), and it's got some pretty archaic code, like checking for IE6.
