The Largest snowflakes I have seen

As I look our the window I am seeing the biggest, most beautiful snowflakes of the season dancing to the ground. If I were a child, I would run out and try and catch them on my tongue. Someone (my husband) says "big flakes, small snow". There are a lot of people out there that hope that is true. Many of my family and friends are running out of room to put the snow and are hiring payloaders and skid loaders to haul the snow away. We are lucky, we have a large yard with lots of room for more snow, although it is not that welcome!
The landscape is totally white with no place for wildlife to hide. We have seen more coyotes "close up" than in other years. The lack of rabbit and small game has us worried about their welfare but they are probably nestled in some brambles, safe and warm in our grove or the tall grasses in the field.
