Do you live near any springs? Nothing says "Winter in Florida" like manatees in the spring.

Sorry guys, but I hope you can come up with something creative that doesn't involve snow.

The1 · 01-25-2012, 12:03 PM

all the contest is asking for is a winter picture, so that means taken in winter of what winter around you means to you.

if I lived in florida, I'd probably take a picture of the flowers that bloom in winter, or trees that have lost leaves (i know there's not many that do that down there, but it happens.)

or, palm trees and such just to rub salt in our wounds

think how many people vacation in winter, palm trees are a part of many peoples winter. I feel the theme is pretty open to interpretation.

M_Six · 01-25-2012, 01:15 PM

Our "slight chance of rain" this evening has turned into a snow event this afternoon. I might just get a winter pic after all.

Seminole · 01-25-2012, 08:45 PM

I have a couple ideas... I'm thinking of subbing sand for snow

Temps are going to be in the 50s this week. Hardly winter-like. There won't even be any ice. Probably need to try a B&W with a mean looking sky or something.

anyone with xmas tree lights up still?

Chewy734 · 01-29-2012, 10:47 AM

yeah, I'm probably going to re-edit a pic I took last year and submit it for this contest. No snow this weekend with temps in the high 30s.

^^^Nice!

Those snows? If so, which ones?

signes · 01-29-2012, 11:45 PM

Nokian Hakka R. They rock... Better view of the tread:

MaximusJ · 01-30-2012, 09:30 AM

The weather is not permissive at all to take some shots for that contest

Its ugly outside for the last two weekends.

Perfect timing would had been in 3 weeks cause I would have submitted a shot from the Red Bull Crashed Ice, but this contest will be over by then.

Will work on shots I took this past christmas and see what I can do from there.

Great pic and that's probably my next winters.

But since these are soft nordic winters, I'd imagine that your M3 lose traction pretty easy on dry and wet road.

signes · 01-30-2012, 03:49 PM

Like driving on marshmallows... but worth it for the peace of mind and performance in the snow, they are damn good.
