...or what I do is on photobucket, when you're looking at the pictures in your album, under each picture is the URL (http address), then under that is TAG, then at the bottom is IMG. Copy and paste the whole IMG text straight into your message.

Looking at it, it seems to be the URL with [IMG] either end of it, which is exactly what SteveP said to do...! But it does it automatically for you.

Hope it makes sense, cause I'm a bit confused now... :?

Wow, proper snow! :D

Can you send some to us? Ours is rubbish. 2cm and the country stops!

I haven't seen decent amounts of snow in this country for years. I can remember my dad getting his landrover stuck in a 4ft snowdrift, it must have been about 1984. And if you've ever experienced the inadequate heating in a soft top series 3 landy, you'll understand what I mean when I say that was REALLY cold!

But these days it seems a light dusting is enough to make front-page news!

Sorry, rant over.

Yeah, you're right - there hasn't been any decent snow here for years really. It rarely snows here as it is (4 days per year max?) and even then its pathetic :lol:

Kar and Fake were super white yesterday with frost, but we've had no snow at all :( We do get a lot of frost and ice, but with over half of us on here being students, I don't think many see it, it's usually melted...

And our cars definately are built for snow, scared me mates rigid first time they saw how low my ambient temp gauge reads down too :shock:

Anyone spot the 123 GT Christmas PUD? LOL
The snow was starting to melt there, but we had another sprinking later in the day. -8 was about the lowest I saw in the car. It is amazing in this country how a short spell of ice, or a tiny layer of snow causes the country to stop! Most people have no idea how to drive in wintry conditions, and cause no end of problems. I can honestly say I've never seen a bad winter, being so young, I've seen pictures of snow up around the tops of telegraph poles next to where I live, now that's a bad winter!

Just as well I got the snowcap on on Christmas day wasn't it!

Yeah, we got a light sprinkling, hence my picture. It looked from your pic like you got a decent amount though. What I mean is a good covering like in the excellent pics from jtbo! :D
