Living in Winter Wonderland

The Grand Teton

We are now living in Wyoming! It is January and is the heart of winter. It snows about everyday to every few days, depending on the week. We had 2 warm days (36 degrees) this week and it was just warm enough for the foot or so of snow to slide off the roof (we have a metal roof). I would say we have 3 -4 ft of snow on the ground. The park keeps the roads and our driveways plowed, so it's not too bad getting out to Jackson. Jackson is an hour away and is where we go to church and do any shopping. Major shopping gets done in Idaho Falls, ID, which is 2 1/2 hours away! It is absolutely beautiful here. Martin and the kids have been skiing at Teton Village (now called Jackson Hole Mountain Resort) a few times. I'll have to join them one of these days. We see moose, elk, coyote and bald eagles and occasionally bison just about every time we drive to Jackson. We've also been seeing a pretty fox behind our house. The mountains are magnificent and with all the snow, we are truly living in a postcard winter wonderland.
