We had an incredible snow year, which has left some neighborhoods still flooded, and rivers flowing to a point of being warned to use caution if you want to raft, or stay out if you're inexperienced.
But the wind, wow the wind. There have been a few fires since the winds have picked up. According to investigations, several of these have been sparked by people shooting in the high desert where tall grasses have become kindle.
From my own perspective, I've been doing some yard work and am doing my best to get rid of the dead grass in the high desert part of our landscape to prevent fire danger surrounding our home.
Its amazing to look out and see so much snow-covered and green mountain side, yet feel the dry grass and danger of fire season upon us.
