Wow... we've been inundated with snow over the past couple of weeks. I don't know the total amount, but we have to dig paths to everything (Shop, garbage, chickens, etc...) because the snow is just too deep. Spokane is reporting roof cave-in's already this winter, and we still have months left!
But, it's still quite beautiful, with lots of wild-life to keep things interesting. We have a family of turkeys that seem to love our tree in the front yard. Then we have 3 deer that make neat little trails around the trees nightly. We'll see them if driving at night quite regularly. I also keep a 2 million candlepower rechargable flashlight next to my bed so that I can see what's moving about at night. Most of the time there's nothing to see, but once in awhile I'll catch some unsuspecting animal creeping about. My neighbor said he saw a mountain lion in front of our shop before the big snowfall started, so I've been extra vigilant ever since. That would be so neat, to see a live mountain lion in the yard!
The wild-life was a big part of why we moved to Idaho. We've seen Moose, Deer, Turkeys, black bear, and lots of wild birds (ospreys, Bald Eagles, Goshawks) while tooling around and it never gets old.
