The smoke seemed to be reduced significantly after that drop. The plane kept flying east […]
This is not a real photo!
Deb Crann-Klemkosky took 2 photos in proximity, when the helicopters were getting water to fight the fire. I PhotoShopped them together.

Please […]
We didn’t get much, maybe a half inch, but it’s snow.
After raining most of yesterday afternoon, it turned to snow around 10pm.

Let’s be careful out there.
We’ll have more smoke in our future.
