We got elk here, too, Chris, but i haven't seen any real up close. See lots of their scat though.
We got snow down here, too, had 12" fall in one night. I was skiing in my back yard for days. My wife had to put chains on coming up the hill, good thing I had taught her how.
Now I'm goig to teach you how to post pictures:
You have to go to photobucket.com and establish an account (its free) this is easy and its easy to upload your pictures there.
When you upload your pictures there, you'll see a "share" button by every picture. Click this and then copy the link from where it says "or just copy the link" to here where you post---just put the link right in the post by itself (its an incredibly long 3 line thing)
bingo--there you go.. here's one of the snow my house got last week (its gone now)
