The woods are almost silent. This is the most significant change. The forest is sitting still under the blanket of snow with only the occasional movement by criters such as squirrels when it isint too cold for them. There is plenty of shelter for critters like this in this part of the forest. Under all the leaves, sticks and logs I’m sure plenty of life lay dormant. Creatures are still showing themselves though. The animal tracks all over the place is evidence of this.
