When searchers type "let it snow" into Google, their wish is the search engine's command.

Google's newest Easter Egg drops a flurry of snowflakes over the results page and quickly frosts up the screen when you query "let it snow." You can wipe away the frost by using your curser as an ice scraper or pressing the "Defrost" button, which appears in place of the blue "Search" button.

It was hard to imagine what Google would come up with after "do a barrel roll," a search goodie discovered by Google users in November. Here's how the Easter Egg works: When you query Google with the phrase "do a barrel roll", a reference to the 1997 videogame "Star Fox 64," the whole search screen would flip over like a fighter pilot executing an in-flight barrel roll in the wild blue yonder.
