Fantastic at the moment...
Cold enough.
Snowy enough.
Christmassy enough.
Snow shovelling operations have been suspended.


No ice weasels spotted yet tho


Anyone else, tales of their FCW to relate (first Canada winter )????

If you have your own pics saved on PC or saved from anywhere on the net to PC you can add them to posts using the 'manage attachments' link when you post text in a message.

If you already have the pictures in your computer,

click manage attachments
click browse
click on the picture (you need to know what the file's called that should be somewhere on the screen you usually use to look at them)
click upload
click close this window.

If the picture is not in a computer,

buy digital camera
take picture
put in computer
see above.

One more suggestion. If you can, resize your pictures to around 800x600. It makes it much easier for most people to see the entire picture on the screen.
