I happened to get a quick look at a weasel recently. It was a rather large one, so I am assuming it was a long-tailed weasel. Three species of weasels are native to our state, the long-tailed weasel, short-tailed weasel or ermine, and the least weasel. They vary in size, but all are brown above with whiteish-yellow undersides during the summer months and turn white during the winter.
