Actually it was one of the wettest winters we’ve had.

It has also been cooler than normal.

That doesn’t mean there won’t be wildfires though.

A lot of water in the spring means a lot of undergrowth pops up. Later in the year it dries out and becomes great combustible material.

If it’s too dry, they tell us it’s a bad year for fire.

If it rains a lot, they tell us it’s a bad year for fire.

So, you've been stealing all of our cool, wet weather. Here in GA/AL, it's been weeks of unrelenting, stifling heat, and no end in sight. 90's every day, heat indices up in the 100's, even with low humidity. The retailers already have acres of decor out for three different holidays, but who wants to think about roasting a turkey or trimming a tree when it's still 85 after sundown? The grass is brown. The trees are brown. The only respite is to stay inside with the A/C on 72 and pretend it's fall. I'd donate a vital organ for a hurricane about now. As soon as my situation stabilizes, I'm moving back to the mountains. If my wife wants to sit here and sweat until she makes her own gravy, so be it. I'd rather shoo away bears than scratch at prickly heat all day.
