A SNOWY FOREST
The scene in the picture above could well have been taken in the National Forest around West Yellowstone. However, I do not know the actual location where this was taken.
We are getting some snow - but not nearly enough. I judge the amount of snowfall by a couple of tree stumps that are out behind our house. Many winters I have seen those stumps completely covered by the snowfall. This year, however, I can still see at least half of those stumps.
Why do we want lots and lots of snow? The answer is simple - we either get tons of snow in the winter or we spend the summer worrying about fire. Given my choice - I will take lots and lots of snow rather than having to face fire in the summer.
Snow or fire - those are the choices you live with when you live near Yellowstone National Park.
