adding snow effect to game scene with SpriteKit

Question

I'm trying to add snow effect to my game scene by using SKEmitterNode. Since the game scene is quite large (25600 x 32000 pixels), I ended up adding the particle effects to the scene camera node. It does give the effect of there is snow falling where ever I go. However, it also causes issues. Since the camera is fix on the player character, therefore, the snow moves around the camera as player moves about. Whenever player moves upward the snow drifts upward as well. When player moves downward the snow seems falling at double speed. The snow also shifts left and right as player moves left and right. My Question is: is there a way to make the snow falling independent of player movements. If it needs to be added directly to the scene instead of the camera node, how to make it covers the entire scene?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I found the solution to my problem. Set the emitter's targetNode = scene
