Fox brought out its special holiday-themed scoreboard graphic for Week 16 of NFL action.
It features (somewhat confusingly) Christmas lights to represent how many timeouts each team has left. It also has a s**wfall animation on top of it.
Yes, the s**w actually accumulates.

It's pretty cool, and there are all sorts of hidden Easter eggs involved. The coolest one by far is what happens when the s**w it piled as high as it goes. IT MELTS:

Here it is falling:

We spent some time just watching the scoreboard, here's what we found.
1:25 left in the quarter, low levels of accumulation:

The Saints call a timeout. Here's the thing, the s**w CONTINUES TO FALL even when Fox isn't on the air.
Before the timeout:

After the timeout:

There was a two-minute delay for an injury, during which s**w continued to fall:

35 seconds left:
http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/52b73571ecad04ed77b010a6-800-444/cam-newton-s**w.jpg
It looks pretty much the same 12 seconds later:

11 seconds left:
http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/52b735786da811b67a1964a0-1200-603/brees-yay.jpg
By the end of the quarter, the s**w is piled high. Then the craziest thing happens...
http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/52b7372269bedda401196486/s**w-burst.gif
IT FALLS AWAY AT THE END OF QUARTERS:

It's gimmicky, whatever, we like it.
