I just heard a news story that said the fire season could start this year as early as January because it is so stinkin' dry out there.

Things don't look good for this summer. Things don't look good at all.

Yeah but look when we got the all the rain last year, wasn't it right around the New Year?

Plus with all the rain all the brush grew so there was all that excess grass and stuff that just died come fire season anyways. Is there a win-win situation in AZ?

Last New Years day I backpacked to Charlebois and slept by the 'running creek' Surprised
I have also seen the snakes moving this December, the first time I can recall that happening. Global warming Question Question

I only made it up there once for a few hours to play in the snow. Would love to try the X-Country skiing this year, I know Jen would be up for that. Also want to try and build a snow cave if there is time as well.

Probably not. Just ask the people in the northeast - they've had a little too much ice and snow for their liking. We're just unfortunate enough to still be locked in the longest drought in recent memory.

I read somewhere that water management used to look at maintenance schedules and planning only 5 years out, now with the length of this current drought (in its 7th or 8th year if I remember right), and finding archeological evidence of droughts that were much more severe and lasted much longer, they're looking at 15 year planning cycles.

Good times indeed.
