A bit cold


The temperature has gone to the cellar and stayed. I think it hit 2 today, it's zero now. These are the trees in our back yard. We haven't had recent snow, it's just so cold that any moisture in the air clings to the trees (or any cold object for that mater) and they get this frosted appearance. Today we had eagles all over town in the trees. I don't know if they're always there or if they just stood out because of the frosted trees. We must have seen about ten of them.
I finally got some roasts out and marinated some meat for jerky. This is caribou and I pulled moose off the smoker this morning. Of course the temp drops like a stone when I decided to do it. It makes for some less than idea conditions. I have to put a cardboard box over the smoker and then insulate the box so the temp will stay up. It makes it harder to get the meat dried just right. Colt and Justice sampled the moose and it passed for flavor.
