Nice pics again, Dizzy Daff. However, it really underlines what I say about your neck of the woods being almost like a different planet. It hasn't fallen below 7 C here since some time on Monday while you're still buried in snow!


Interesting inscription on the bridge - built in very different times not long after Culloden.

The weekend walks –


As there was an Easterly wind, the snow had petered out before it reached us.  (We need a North wind.)  Further into the Cairngorm National Park – just 7 or 8 miles away, snow had been drifting, so there were a few minor roads blocked – nothing around the town though, so no exciting snowy pics, I'm afraid.

It takes a wee bit of getting used to....


First, you've to upload your pictures to a image hosting website such as imgbb.com


You log in and select your pictures from your computer


Then you edit them to resize them, upload them and copy the embedding code - 'Direct links'


in this posting reply box, you click on the picture icon for 'Insert/edit image'


Paste the source of your picture into the Source box


So that it will open in a new window - 


Click on the link icon for 'Insert/edit link'


Paste in the URL of your picture again


Change target to 'New window'


eg


Old snowmen


 


And you add a comment, such as 'Old snowmen'.


Woods


Up the woods today....


Hope that helps.  It's a bit of trial and error if you are anything like me - a retired IT teacher, who is hopeless with technology....

Another way, is that you can upload photos to TWO, and then you don't need to resize them, as well as appearing at the correct size on the forum (Brian must have imposed some kind of exception based on the image location).


Go to https://www.theweatheroutlook.com/photo-uploader.aspx and upload your photo. 
Click on the "My Pics" button, click on your photo to open it, and then right click and choose "Copy image address" (this is for a PC)


Then add your post on the forum, click on the image icon, and paste (CTRL+V) into the address field. Then voila!


(This is from 24th January, as we've had nothing more than a dusting here this week)

Icicles on the summer house


Thanks, Darren.  That worked.  Nice...


... but it also means that it is published on the Sky Eye Gallery as well.  I couldn't possibly publish all 10 pictures that way (every day). I would be hogging the limelight on the Gallery and folk would be scunnered of my pictures - if they aren't already! 


Good for a single photo.

Marvellous icicles! We went for a walk in what passes for snow in Chichester - at the end of the shower you could the individual snowflakes on your coat - on the fingers of your hands!

Lovely pictures again.   


To give an idea of how some places have missed out on the snow have a look at these snowy offerings from the South.

The total for here in South Dorset was far far less than any of those snowfalls even for the snow man at Barton on Sea.
