1. Yup and the

rest of the state is probably going to burn this summer. We have had very little precip this winter and unless it rains all summer long, we'll be seeing the burning of what didn't burn in the past two years.

Right now, I can see down into one of our large wilderness areas and I can see bare rocks that should be shrouded in snow, all the way to the peaks on most of them.

2. I think you do have some snow coming in this week?

daughter lives in Bozeman. I live in e. Washington. We've been through numerous fires - lost our home in '94. Mandatory evacuation last summer.

Scary. 😔
