Fire and Ice, Where's the BBQ sauce?


So what do you do when you get the earliest snow in recorded state history and it's 15 inches! Well if you are at our house you BBQ!
Saturday morning we woke up to 5 inches of snow and it was still coming. The weatherman had said it might snow, but it was a full on dumping at our house. So we finished the projects in the garage and made room for the cars. By the time we got the garage ready to move the autos back into their home, they had 12 inches on them! And yes, it was still snowing. Our wet rigs were happy to be in a dry place and we were ready to have some hot chocolate. An afternoon movie and hot dinner was just the ticket.
Later the power went out a number of times, but we didn't mind. It gave us an excuse to do shadow puppets and and tell stories. By 9 o'clock the lights were back on and we had another couple of inches. All in all it was about a foot and a half that fell...and it isn't even the middle of October!
So to help bring back the warm temps we decided to BBQ for Sunday dinner (ok, we Bar-B-Q whenever we can...all the time) but it might help! And although there was lots of snow everywhere , it was beautiful outside. So throw the burgers on the Bar-B!
