It will take a massive amount of snow to significantly slow this monster down. That said any slowing at all will give the agencies time to catch up and develop some plans to fight back. Need to get the wind speed down to under 20 miles per hour. Anything over 35 mph windspeed you can’t successfully fight a wildland fire.
Best wishes and prayers to all involved in this tragic event.
They’re expecting 5 or 6 inches, but right now the wind is only about 5mph
