UnBEARable chili after snow

A neighbor hunting about 20 miles east of here took down a bear last year. A crockpot of bear chili will be tonight's suppah. The amazing aroma partners with the beautiful color.

The coastal storm, like usual for such events, did not drop much snow here. We received less than three inches, which we shoveled. The tractor and smaller blower would have simply torn ground up too much with such a small amount of accumulation.
