Well, actually I am from TN (tennessee). It gets cold here, in the single digits, and for long periods. Nothing like where you are, and I know first hand, my wife being from Brainerd MN area. I have been there plenty of times, in the winter, summer, fall, so I know what thats like to. But in the summer, july, august, its "cold" to us below 75 at night

.
For uploading pics, well there are many ways. One way is to create yourself some albums by going to UserCP (top of page in navigation bar), then once in there, on the left click on Pictures and Albums.
Look in my signature line (upload pictures) for just simply uploading a picture to your post.
Or if you have them on a photo site already, you can easily post them here using the URL (like photobucket, flickr, etc..)
Let me know which way you choose and I can provide more details on how to do it.
If you upload a picture to your own album on the forum here, when you view that picture, below it you will see 2 links. One has http://www.campercommunity.com/forum/welcome-camper-community-forums/welcome-camper-community-forums/ before and after it. If you copy that entire line, just paste that in your post and it will show that image.
Its the same with any image on photobucket, flickr, etc...They provide links to use for your pictures. The ones with the [IMG] around it, just copy it, post it, done.
The other way, when your making a new post, or replying to a topic, you see the little Yellow square icon, with a mountain (to the right of B, I, U), if you know the URL of an image, you can copy the image link, click the yellow icon, paste the link, and it just adds the IMG tags around it for you.
So in the end there are 3 plus ways of doing the same thing, just all depends on what you want to do.
Also look here, I wrote a bunch of stuff about this there as well
