Snow Block

Snow Blocks are found naturally-placed in the Snow Biome, and are dropped by all enemies in the Frost Legion. They are also created when a Snow Balla throws snowballs. Placing Snow Blocks within the Surface layer will cause snow to fall. Snow Blocks cannot be Hallowed or Corrupted.

Snowfall is only for visual purposes, causing little functional effect to the current Biome; except that Trees planted in Snow Blocks will be covered with snow, and wouldn't drop any Acorns when harvested prior to version 1.2.

Snowfall
Snowfall amount is determined by the number of Snow Blocks that are near your character.


 * Being near even one placed Snow Block has a rare chance to cause a periodic snowflake.
 * Continuous light snowfall occurs at 26 placed snow blocks (two snowflakes/second, average).
 * Heavy snowfall is achieved with 201 placed snow blocks (20 snowflakes/second, average).
 * Absolute maximum snowfall is achieved with 401 placed Snow Blocks (60 snowflakes/second).

The same apply to Snow Bricks, which also cause snowball. Snow Brick Walls do not cause snowfall on their own.
