It has been bad! Started out with a lot of snow, now its been colder than its been in quite a few years. That being said, I've seen winter start earlier and seem to never let up. At least this cold stretch has been a sunny cold stretch. There are many little spots that have blown clear and then sun has continued the process of reducing the snow depth on those south facing slopes. If we can get a break in the weather on temps., and an early spring????? Its those late heavy snow cold snaps in the spring that tend to kill off many fawns and weakened deer. No matter how bad, the deer always amaze me. Antelope too for that matter. Sometimes you think none of them can survive, but they do.
