In between the snow, the sky has been real clear- Outer Limits clear but no satellites.
When I was a kid we went outside to watch Sputnik (the first man-made satellite) go overhead. Later we were able to pick up its feeble radio beacon on our ham radio receiver. There wasn't much danger of Sputnik crashing into another satellite - it was the only one up there. Now the only thing that prevents satellite traffic accidents is that they are all going in the same direction, more or less. It's quite a junkyard, though.

I've learned so much from my mistakes I think I'll make a few more.
Sputnik 1 burned up on 4 January 1958, as it fell from orbit upon reentering Earth's atmosphere, after travelling about 70 million km (43.5 million miles) and spending 3 months in orbit
....RIP Sput
Yeah, we have sent a lot into space. While in New Hampster a month ago, I saw 13 satellites in about 40 minutes. The less light pollution, the better the viewing.
I hear that W. Texas is the best for viewing.
