This macro looks very promising indeed. Good work. I am looking forward to 
the final result. It would be an excellent contribution to the 
Object-Collection.

It would be interesting to compare this with the already existing snow 
macros (Gilles Tran, Tim Nikias). The length of you code suggests something 
far more compact tha either of those mentioned.
