Don't tell too many people about our weather

Right now at 11AM it is a sunny 83º here and feels like 86º. :)

Agreed.

About average precipitation (so far) this year, but most fell as rain (and then ran off). So lower elevations, that don't rely on snowpack for soil moisture, should be OK. However, the higher elevation soils rely on this slow release of moisture throughout the year. So I am concerned that fire season is likely to start early and be in timber (rather than in grasslands that recover quickly) this year. I don't know reservoir conditions, but they look low without much snow to refill them. And for those who like them (I don't), campfire restrictions will likely start early (June???). Only bright side I can see is that the short term ladder fuels (grasses and small bushes) won't be as abundant. Maybe this will help....some.

Oh-boy, another summer of smoke and evacuations to look forward to :(

Please be extra careful with fire this year in the Northwest.

I've decided I might as well dewinterize, it doesn't seem plausible that it's going to freeze this winter.

Gee, Frank...even your name is damp. ;)

You promised that you wouldn't do that anymore, but what do I care, I'm in La Manzanilla, Mexico for the month.

He's just kidding folks.. the forecast is for rain until this same time next year. :W
