Snow coming...

The National Weather Service has been playing mind games with us all week.  First they told us that we had a major spring storm coming, with models showing feet of snow expected this weekend.  Then they adjusted, saying that the snow was tracking north of us; under this model, we'd only get an inch or two.  The last day or so, they're back to saying we can get quite a bit.  This morning's winter weather warning guesses we might get anywhere from 6-21 inches between this afternoon and Monday morning.  I'm hoping it's closer to 21 - we could use all the moisture we can get - but I'll believe it when I see it.

Because heavy snow is predicted, I went out and swapped out the trailcam cards to see if we had any action in the last week or so.  The results were disappointing.  Not a lot of action our there, though we did have a herd of about 100 elk wander through on Feb 27.  These first two videos show the herd gathering in the meadow (note: the date on the camera is incorrect; I forgot to update it last time I changed batteries and will fix that next time)...

One of the elk decided to play art director here.  This camera is normally pointed toward the stock tank so that I can get video of wildlife stopping by for a drink.  This gal thinks the meadow is a better view, so moves the camera (presumably with her nose) and lines up a shot of the herd with the mountains in the background.  Not bad!!
