We got 15 inches of snow on Saturday and Sunday; it was beautiful. Debbie and I spent a couple of hours snowshoeing along the creek that runs past our house. We saw two deer beds, but we must have scared the deer before we saw them. Later, when we were coming back, we could see that the deer had already started to use our snowshoe tracks as their trail; there were deer tracks in our footprints.
The birds were thick around our birdfeeders all day. The wind was quite strong, about 30 MPH, so the birds would cling to the feeder and swing as the wind would make it sway. Once the feeder settled down again, they would resume eating.
I hope the snow stays, but today was 36 F, and they are predicting the same for the rest of the week. But, it is and was beautiful while it lasts :)

Ugh. Feel free to borrow some of our snow and cold air! We contemplated getting snowshoes last year, but never ended up with consistent snow. Now we have plenty of snow, but aren't sure if we'll stay in Mass. long enough for snowshoes to be a good investment. If only PhD programs sent out acceptance letters in January!
