Quick Rainmeter Snow Skins

I’m a minor nerd about fresh snow, so I have theseĀ Rainmeter skins running on my monitor right now (really just two versions of the same skin). I thought I had them in GitHub or GitLab, but apparently not yet. If you use them, enjoy!

Two snowfall maps in two different Rainmeter skins.
