Hot-Cold-Hot-Cold
Welcome to the Colorado Front-Range. Spring is the MOST interesting time in Colorado. I lived in Texas for 35 years in various locations in the state and I swore Texas had the weirdest weather. Wait a few hours and it’ll change again, was the general MO. However, nothing compares to Colorado, nothing.
We start out with bright, cloudless, sunny mornings full of cheer and promise, then end the day with hail, large rain drops or even snow. Real hard to plan a grilling adventure at the end of any weekend day. I own a jeep, staple truck of Colorado, next to the Subaru Outback, and usually run around with the top down all summer. I once left the house on one of these bright sunny days, left the top at home only to have to drive home, 20 miles, later in a mix of snow and rain cranking the heater and trying to make all the lights so I wouldn’t be stopped. Now THAT’s mixed up.
All that said, grilling hasn’t slowed down in our house. In fact the other day, a Wednesday I think, I fired up the grill with a light drizzle to get some cheese bratwurst going. Half way through the cooking time, the rain drips turned into a mix of soft hail and drops the size of quarters. No stopping now, good thing heat melts snow and rain just sizzles on the grill hood. Cool! Sound affect added to the sizzle of the brats. Needless to say, I finished before the deluge really hit.
Awh… grilling in Colorado.
