February Grilling Weather

The cold winter this year is ridiculous!  You know it's cold when you open the back door to let the dog out and your nose immediately  freezes shut.  You then realize that your frozen nose has all been in vain, since the dog ran off and is hiding behind the couch. 

This weather has also been making me crave a hamburger in the worst way.  I don't want to brag, but there are no burgers in any area restaurants that are as good as the ones my husband makes.  (a few come close-Griffon Pub, Grover's and maybe a few others)  He takes 80/20 beef, seasons it inside and out and cooks it perfectly on the grill.  My favorite toppings go on,  he puts it on a brioche roll, and there is no better burger anywhere.  But this leads me to the cold weather winter problem.

This is our grill today

 

For some reason, I can't talk him into brushing this off, digging around it, and cooking on it.  He says he has more important things to do.  (notice the dog trails already dug out for our little Shih Tzu, when we can get her out from behind the couch?)


He says it's more important for us to be able to get the car out of the driveway,

but I'm not so sure.
