Snow for Keeps!

We got our first really major snow storm this week...it's been so lovely to watch. At times we had blizard conditions and couldn't even see across our parking lot! We have also been visited by a large bear and a few days after the bear we had a pack of coyotes yipping and yapping and carrying on right below our living room window...it was really cool to see them up close like that...I have always heard them off in the woods and I have seen the occasional lone coyote, but it was really neat to get to see them all together howling to their friends on some distant ridge...we could hear the other pack answering them back too, it was kinda spooky.
