Definitely. Sparse snowfall in winter portends fires in the summer.

One of our fire experts in the great void says that a wet winter and spring forbode a big fire season. The logic being the water will increase grass growth, then with the drying in late summer more fuel, hence more fire. There is no way around it, CJ, some of it is going to burn. The one thing about a continuing drought is that if it burned last year there is nothing to burn there this year.
