Dry and Dangerous

The weather here at the moment is just gorgeous. We have had day after day of sunshine and almost no precipitation. Of course, in hand with that after a typical dry Colorado Winter comes wildfire risk. Usually by this time, Denver has seen over 40" of snow. We barely got 20" this winter so everything is even drier than usual. Today alone has seen two fires spark in Jefferson county and it's terrifying and exhausting for emergency services and residents. Tomorrow however sees a big shift in weather, with a big storm coming though. It looks like a week of on and off rain... or snow. No one quite knows yet! We travel to Santa Fe on Friday morning and have a friend coming to house/ dog sit for us. I am hoping that for our travel safety and my friends encase that the rain comes and no heavy spring snow! Time will tell...
