Looks like you might get enough snow to put the fire out.

Thanks, Tom. We were able to return home yesterday. The close fire was contained with the cold front. Big wind today so the giant Troublesome Fire to the W is being watched. If it links with the also giant Cameron Fire E of the divide, Rocky Mt Nat Park could burn. Unprecedented fire season. Never so late in the year either. Heart goes out to all involved.

Thank God everything is OK, wild fires are so scary moving so fast.

It'll help the crews get some containment. Our fire chief, during the 2010 fire here, told me that 10" of snow would have to stay a month to fully douse it. So much fuel, so hot, the fire smolders underground for weeks, only to pop up with wind. So crews will be on this for weeks to come. At least they get a breather. Hoping the drought is over. Next week looks dry again. ? Cmon snow!

Thanks, Tom. Yes, these fires have literally exploded, gaining as much as 100,000ac in a single day! That took everyone by surprise, even the pros. Cmon snow!!

Just saw this one.

Glad you came through it OK @Paul Roberts

Big rain mixed with snow here for several days, over 10 inches of rain.

Wish I could send you some.

Stay Safe

Glad everything came out okay for you. Hope you get enough rain or snow to put it out.

Glad your house was spared Paul. Stay safe.

Just seeing this.  Glad you are all safe.

It's been a rough fire season for sure. Glad you were spared.

Thanks all for the good thoughts. Some winter weather has finally come, 10" of snow and right around 0F. Lots of work to be done yet on the big fires, but headway can now be made. My area is now most likely safe for the season.

Great news!!

Thank God you got some good news.  I heard there was a good snow somewhere in your area.  Prayers were sent!

Now... where was I? Oh yes, thinking about bass fishing.
