Me too...getting ice and snow here. Poor grill....it's begging for a cookout!

No fast food for a while then, hard to think of warm days looking at this.

Barbecued icicles for breakfast

Oh my, that makes for one cold patio! Come on Spring! Nice shot, Steve!

Thanks for the comments, a few of which caused me to chuckle. Lennart, I gave up putting this under cover years ago; power outages are not unusual here in the winter and when one drags out from hours to days, this is our cooking surface. We generally pick up an extra tank in the fall for just these occasions. Bob is correct Terry, there is not really much to go wrong with a BBQ. Actually, the worst spring start-up I have had was after storing it in the shed and having critters overwinter in it. Not being a winter person though, the BBQ is not the only one waiting for spring.

This is probably not the first winter it has seen.
I'm guessing it will work just fine.

An amusing photo, Steve.
Summer looks a long long way away.

Great shot, and as a boy of the South, ultimate sadness.
Nothing sadder than your grill buried in that stuff...

Great exposure, Steve. Good luck on that thing working in the spring!

This is how neglects in the past looks like! Should have been inside instead. Great picture!

You better get the broom out and dust this one off. You might like to grill some Wisconsin brats for Superbowl Sunday. ;-}
Your exposure is spot on and I really like that your snow colors look so real.
