Scenario | Snow
Snow
The weather patterns in Bear Forest have been extra odd. Normally the climate is moderate with some raining. This year though there has been TONS of snow and the forest has become white.
The snow is not cold enough though that the bears with thin fur are uncomfortable. Also - note that it is hunting season and hunters are out to find some bear.
