Well, you picked the right season to ask this riddle. Well, ok, it hasn't quite started yet, and it depends on what hemisphere you're on.
Hidden text (like this) can be made visible by selecting it. Or hit ctrl-a (which selects everything on the page). Or hit 'quote', which allows you to see the whole post as it was posted.
Anyway, if you really just want the answer: snowman
If you want to try a few more hints first:
-The season that's relevant here is winter
-A hat, shawl and broom are fairly standard equipment for this 'man'
-The sun brings death by thawing

The url for his avatar goes to a script which returns a random image from his avatar-directory.

What do you mean? There's "hello world" for start, and there's obviously his script.

It does. But perhaps your browser caches the image, or you happen to get the same image by chance.

Just this thread, or every thread? Do you map the referrer-url to an image?

It's getting into coding, and thats just complicated if you have no prior experience.
I was learning web design lately. Though I was using Dreamweaver and that makes me lazy.

Yep. That's the trick. If It sees num=1227999941, It returns a specific picture.
