That is crazy! West fires are 365 days now.
interesting on December 6 there was an article on the Denver Channel stating that global warming would cause more December wildfires in Colorado
www.thedenverchannel.com
but we still have skeptics.
Colorado wildfires in December may become more common, expert says
Experts warn Colorado may see more of these end-of-the-year wildfires if dry conditions persist past summer across the state.

I recall probably more than 10 years ago seeing a report out west of a burned out Culdesac.interesting on December 6 there was an article on the Denver Channel stating that global warming would cause more December wildfires in Colorado

One home was standing, it was constructed with stucco walls and a metal roof. The news reporter treated the owner like he was a genius. To me it’s common sense. If you live in an arid climate take appropriate measures.
I can’t believe after all these years it’s not part of the local building codes.
Or at least have some type of exterior fire suppression systems. Have a misting system around the perimeter of the property that can be run from a generator. A friend of mine converted part of his office to two apartments . He was required to install a sprinkler system, it had a 500 gallon tank and pump.
I can run my well off a small generator that has about 6hrs of running time .
Good luck with the global warming thing. It’s something that will have to be lived with like Covid. In the meantime I like Ripitz idea…plant lots of trees!
We shouldn't be saying "good luck' with global warming, we live in a democracy and if we love skiing and our country we should let the politicians know it by voting the deniers out. The ski industry is getting near a precipice in some areas. It creates many more jobs than coal, but we were told to jump through hoops in 2016 because the coal industry was suffering . We all are going to be suffering soon.

This is the new normal out here. When you have 50+ mph winds there isn’t much you can do about it. Weather events have been visibly getting more extreme for at least ten years, probably a lot longer.
At this point I won’t and can’t argue with deniers. It’s happening in real time now and much quicker than predicted. Everyone loves to bullshit themselves by saying comforting things like, not for a hundred years or, not in my lifetime but that no longer works if you’re paying attention.
I’d make a bet right now that skiing as we have known it is going to done in 15 to 20 years.

If the trend continues I totally agree. The data I posted for my region is reality right from the NWS now data.
We have a local meteorologist whom loves to tell us he graduated from Cornell. He's a major denier ... It defies logic and the data.

Recreational opportunities aren’t going to be much of a concern here in the very near future
