Flurry adds a falling snow effect to your WordPress site. It uses the Flurry jQuery plugin to create the effect. See an example .
The Flurry jQuery plugin takes advantage of CSS transforms , CSS transitions and requestAnimationFrame to provide smooth animation for modern browsers. It uses unicode characters as snowflakes, with no dependencies on images or CSS files. Polyfills are automatically provided for requestAnimationFrame and CSS transitions (falling back to setInterval and jQuery’s .animate() feature respectively) for excellent browser compatibility. See the Flurry website for more information.

Does this impact the performance of my website?
Yes, of course, in the sense that it adds another JavaScript file to download and that elements are being animated on the page. However, great care has been taken with the Flurry jQuery plugin to ensure the best possible browser performance so your site visitors have a negligible performance impact.
