It snowed two nights ago, and the main part of Yellowstone National Park got 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm). It was still snowing lightly when I went out in the morning and photographed this bison bull covered with snow. Notice that he's licking his nose. Even bison get runny noses when it's cold, and they don't have sleeves …

After the snow stopped and the clouds broke, a group of bighorn rams were very cooperative and looked great in the fresh snow. This guy would have a full curl, but the tips of his horns have been worn down.
