The Fire and Rain and Smoke Thread

Yup....I'm in Hillsdale. NY, about 15 miles west of Great Barrington.

We had a vet appointment yesterday over in GB and could see the smoke coming up from the mountains, something I've never witnessed before.

Ski Butternut is soaking the mountain with their snowmaking equipment, and helis are scooping water from their snow making ponds.

Thankfully it is pouring rain right now for the first time in months, hoping that helps the firefighter's efforts.

Looks like yer in the same weather system that I am for the next few days. Good luck, be safe.
 
This civilization and everything as we know it is rapidly evolving and it’s not going to be an easy ride. Buckle up kids (I mean our kids literally) it’s about to get rowdy.
