Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

What is it about a car covered in snow that’s so appealing?

Good question!

Of all the great snow images we’ve seen over the last few days (thanks to the three-day snowstorm the Alps is currently enjoying), most of the best have involved cars. What is it about a car covered in snow that’s so appealing?

I like to think that in our world dominated by technology and machines, it’s reassuring to see nature reassert control from time to time.

As long as the ski lifts still work… wink

Thats a cat not a car!

Boredsurfing, Mind you, snow can sometimes get in the way when you want to use the car:

One of my favourite images from the cold snap last year, from Versoix on Lake Geneva, caused by the cold wind blowing lake water over onto the street:

Whitters, something similar happens on the coast (Riviera) a few years ago. Might even be that very year you are relating to. The palm trees were all covered in ice. Impressive.

Sorry I park mine in an underground car park specifically to avoid it getting covered in snow and freezing! So nice to drive out with clear windows of a snowy morning Wink

Great thing about the picture of the interior of that car in La Plagne is how little the window is open relative to the amount of snow inside snowHead

Whitters, Fabulous photo Whitters, I remember last year seeing something similar (but not as spectacular) on the trees as I was on the train going round the Lake.

Whitters, a couple of years ago i had an email with a whole load of photos of similar stuff, including lots of palm trees, which I always assumed was Lake Geneva. Very sad to say I have now lost the email but there were some brilliant photos.

Have a couple of my own but no idea how to upload a photo to this forum Embarassed

sanman, open a free account with photobucket or flickr, upload the photos to there, and then click on the 'IMG' link associated with the photo from the account. Copy this into the post on here....and magically it will appear Smile

Swissie, yes, it happens most years, but last year was particularly spectacular. The lakefront in certain places (Versoix and Nyon in particular) is amazing, with huge icicles hanging off cables, trees and boats frozen like ice sculptures and the pavement looks like an ice rink.
