Once every 10 seconds (starting with a check at the very start) it will try and PROC against anyone currently in its range at that time.
Given that Snow Storm is fairly cheap in terms of slotting it can be worthwhile, but it's not going to destroy spawns or anything.
ok thanks for the info 
wouldn't do it unless you're an ice/cold troller or something that lives off of -recharge almost exclusively. i use two of those on my ice/ice dom for messing with buffers in kickballs.
Wait, I think the "chances to ..." go off may hit once when the power is once toggled (speaking of toggled powers slotted with "Chance to ..." IO's). That being said, I don't think it will go off every such so seconds slotted into Snowstorm. See? A PBAoE Toggle has a chance every such or so seconds to go off because it is within that toggled power to do harm unlike Snowstorm which is a toggle power but not a toggled power like Hotfeet, Flaming Aura and etc. I think it only affects the caster's ability to do "Chance to ..." if it is slotted on Self effecting toggles vs toggles like Rad/-Defenders and /Rad-trollers may have.
Another point of view: You can slot a "Performance Shifter-Chance For +Endu" into Stamina which an auto-power that triggers the "Chances to ..." every such and so seconds vs slotting it into Speed Boost which will NOT affect the boosted ally at all at any given chance (although it is not a toggled power).

Ignore what Goon said, Carnifax got it right.

So much wrong in here. Snowstorm does certainly tick every 10 seconds, as does any toggle (or pseudopet which uses a toggle to work, like Freezing Rain / Sleet). Doesn't matter if it's PB, is anchored on an enemy or targetted via a Pseudo.
Performance Shifter in Speed Boost does actually have a chance of giving your ally a wee bit of End (10% of 20 end I think?) when you cast it on them. It's just not really worth it considering they'll be getting lots of +recovery from the power anyway.
I'm just wondering what your take is on if i was to slot snowstorm with an impeded swiftness chance for damage proc. Also will the proc only affect the anchor or will it affect anyone that happens to be in the storms range.
Thanks
