Blizzard.
2 Drag in a viewport to create the Blizzard emitter; see

Interface
This section describes the Display Icon group in the Basic Parameters rollout,
the Particle Motion group in the Particle Generation rollout, and the Material
Mapping and Source group in the Particle Type rollout. These are the only
controls unique to Blizzard. The other Blizzard rollouts and their contents are
identical with those in Particle Array, except that Object Fragments and
associated settings are not available on the Particle Type rollout. See
PArray
