Yes, it does snow in Chiswick - on rare occasions and much to the amazement of the local population. This is a free 800 x 600 Chiswick Snow wallpaper you can copy and use, and also a free screensaver based on the same picture. It's a collage of numerous Chiswick snow scenes, many of which were kindly provided by chiswickW4.com - please see the Links section.

To get the wallpaper, just click on the thumbnail above to load it (111k), then save it and set it as wallpaper with any graphics program, such as IrfanView. It will resize quite well to 1024 x 768.
If you prefer your desktop to have that wrapping paper look, on the same page there is also a small seamless tiled version to copy to make infinite wallpaper.

To get the free screensaver, just click on the thumbnail at the top of this page to download the file chiswick_snow_everzoom.scr (about 1mb), and then please see the easy installation information with the Chiswick Pier screensaver, which also applies to this one.
This screensaver continually zooms in step-by-step on the collage, like an infinite Mandelbrot, only with more snow and less variation, and is guaranteed to drive you completely mad, eventually, or your money back.
For smoothness, the screensaver always runs at 800 x 600. This doesn't affect your computer's resolution.
