Snow Fall:

 I keep track of our snowfall. Below is the total amount to this time in March: 

2018 - 87"

2019 - 198"

2020 - 172"

2021 - 193"

2022 - 124" 

2023 - 95"

The Spring wildfire was in 2018, and this year is the next nearest to accumulated total but there is a lot of snow season still left. The 2018 wildfire was started by a man who ignored the outdoor burning ban. That therefore, does not mean we will have another wildfire due to low snowfall unless we have more idiots who defy rules and orders. 

We also will have a difficult gardening year as our average snow fall is somewhere between 265 - 300" per winter season. We can only hope that 2018 was a wakeup call for those who might be tempted to have an outdoor fire. Things are usually fairly dry at 9800' elevation anyway so possible we can get more rain than snow this year.
