    PS. you could increase compressions little and at least change it to progressive encoding. (everyone doesn't have broadband connections yet)

    I don't care much about the view in the distance but that snowy hillside with those pines is beeeeeautiful. Very nice. :)

    Lovely pic with the contrast of the snow and green below.
    Have you been to Mount Blanc? All the Alps are very beautiful. And I remember the lake in Geneva with the fountain. *ahh memories* :)
  • Drazi GuyDrazi Guy Elite Ranger
    We got alot of snow here the last 2 days... like a foot and a half. Loving every minute of it :)
  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    yes, snow can be fun, but I'd be much happier if it wouldn't have to be so cold.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    I prefer too cold to too hot. :)
  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    yeah, you come live here and you won't think that anymore.
  • Captain,SimmondsCaptain,Simmonds Trainee trainee
    Its still fucking snowing!!!

    IT WONT STOP.
  • MartianDustMartianDust Elite Ranger
    Least you guys have some. Am fed up of the cold and no snow. It normally goes mild after snow.

    Anyone got a snow machine?

    Yeah, I heard they're investigating over 1000 weather-related accidents up there.

    If you do drive, don't drive like an idiot like many of your countrymen choose to. There still is hope for you.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Yay for weather-impervious public transport systems!
  • Captain,SimmondsCaptain,Simmonds Trainee trainee
    Damn it, Its still snowing,

    I hate winter.

    If I had a car, I would be out there making Dounuts in the school parking lot. hehe. All though it would be funnyer to do it on the Foot Ball field, when its raining.

    After few weeks there's no fun of it because, if you want to stay outside longer than few minutes you'll have to have so much clothes on that you can't move so easily.
    And still your nose wants to freeze.
    And this is'nt fun also because astronomy is one of my hobbies and when you see stars in winter it means temperature is under -15 celsius. (and propably northern wind)

    Don't drive so close to car in font of you that you could read newspaper headlines if someone is reading it in that car front of you!

    Yeah, but what's most anoying is when you don't want to go outside in the cold, but you still got to goto school by buss.


    Also when it gets really cold there's danger that something will brake/freeze, like waterpipes and cars won't start.

    Well I wouldn't go that far hehe!! I'd hate to be in the cold all the time. I sympthasize (sp)? with you.
    I would like to see Scotland one day though. :)

    About driving.......is it true that driving 30 - 40 is safest? I always thought the lowest the better, but I've never driven in bad icey weather yet!
    My silly sis was driving all the way from London late at nite with kids. I dunno why she didn't stay over somewhere.
