More so than you Muckers I bet, absolutely enjoyed snow camping. Lovely to wake up to crisp virgin snow, hearing the crunching noise when walking. My dog was in his element and there is nothing better than sitting under a tarp, next to a roaring fire, with excellent company, total bliss.

Sorry Purplenel, I missed your previous post...
Our current tent came with their guys already fitted with quality stainless steel carabiners.
However, before we got this tent, and thanks to quite a few on here recommending them, I went for the Stainless steel, 40mm carabiners from Handystraps.
Used them on tent and tarps etc.
Not exactly cheap, but certainly strong, durable and reliable! And good service from Handy straps too. They did make a simple mistake on one of my orders, (Sent 2 instead of 2 pairs) but after a Saturday AM 'phone call, they had put it right by the Monday, so all good.
Still use them on spare guys etc, (and also at home on our retractable washing line!) and after 2 years, camping "all year round", there's no sign of rust, no bending or "opening up", and not even any wear on the spring loaded "gates". They always spring shut, without fail.
I can't say the same for the first lot I got from Lidl/Aldi!
Quality-wise, I'd say there is no difference between those in the link and the one's that came supplied with my Karsten. Make your own conclusions from that!  
Not particularly light, admittedly, but for "car camping" (as opposed to carrying everything on your back), I'm not sure they need to be.

We are going to the Lakes at October half term, lots of soup, thermals and hats, possibly our wood burner but definitele our meths heater if not.
We nearly bought an EHU cable a couple of winters ago bit then bought a tent with wood burner instead.
