4/29/2018 7:00 AM 0.08 M M M M FINALLY RAIN! Started late afternoon steady slow light rain. Hope more is on the way the next few days. Still high wildfire danger!

5/1/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Haze. I displayed photos etc. of the 2002 Missionary Ridge Fire at a retirement party here yesterday in Forest Lakes, big eye opener as few still live here that had to evacuate for 6 days. It now goes to our library for the month of May. We're drier now than 2002!
5/2/2018 7:00 AM 0.80 1.0 M 1.0 M SNOW! Still coming down big wet flakes. Covering the ground. We're already ahead of last May.
5/3/2018 7:00 AM 0.58 5.5 M 5.5 M Not as wet snow late last night, but freezing low kept it covering the ground.
5/4/2018 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Quick shower from cloud above that couldn't quite hold it. Freezing again for low. Hope it doesn't kill off the bears natural food again this season!
5/5/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sunny & clear for our Wildfire Mitigation Fair today. Hope to enlighten our residents on it starts at home!
5/6/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warming up for a few days, then hopefully rain Wednesday. A big blonde bear was sighted in the lower area of Forest lakes. Looked like one of the triplets who roamed that area last season. More home for trash unfortunately.

5/12/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M another dusty windy day. Our Fire Dept. Upper Pine held a mock fire evacuation today for Forest Lakes. As a Firewise Ambassador I asked pre-designed questions to people who came to the fire station in their vehicles as instructed. 1/2 of the subdivision was notified at 10 a.m. & the other half an hour later. Looked likea good response. Nearly all expressed their appreciation for this drill. Very few were here in 2002 for the Missionary Ridge Fire in 2002. We were evacuated for 6 days, & it was a mess with traffic trying to get out onto CR 501 that lead to Bayfield. I doubt if our firemen will let that happen again! I bake enchiladas, sweet breads and cookies for them hoping to keep them in our community.

6/2/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A real hot day 85.3 and a low of 59.1 to start the day. We are keeping up with the fire NW of Hwy 550 and see the smoke clouds drifting our way, but out of danger so far. Sure need the rain for tomorrow!
6/3/2018 11:45 AM 0.03 M M M M Off & on showers, thought I'd have more to report, hopefully more rain later on today. Sure turned chilly, back in winter clothes again.
6/4/2018 7:00 AM 0.05 M M M M Late afternoon shower, big raindrops, some mushy, but not forming into hail. Big disappointment for 40-50% chance of rain! But every drop counts!
6/5/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool night, but smoke from DRO fire made us shut the windows late last night. Fire restrictions now prevent our Metro Districts Curtain Burner to be shut down. The piles are too big 7 fire department can't even burn them. Need to do our rain dance!!

6/21/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M More 85 degree days, but our outdoor camera showed a big bear stepping up onto our lower deck at 10 p.m. on the 16th of this month while we were gone. We don't put out any food for birds. Neighbor above us had a bear 2 mornings early, opened all (3) vehicle doors & tore up the console of their truck. also ate the food & water for their goat. No food on bushes for them or water except for bird watering dishes. Another hard year for the bears I think.
6/22/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M More heat no sign of rain soon. I noticed a bear paw print on our glass storm door, probably the bear that was on the deck was looking inside. No recent photos of a bear on the deck. I'm sure they're hungry and sure hope rain brings berries to the bushes soon!

6/28/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool enough to bake cookies for the sheepmen trailing up to the summer range way above us. Always great to visit with them at one of their night camp nearby. Hope we get rain & they're safe from fires.

7/13/2018 8:00 PM 0.07 M M M M Early afternoon shower, hope the valley folks got more, they've been left out these last few storms. 416 fire is smoldering, but not hurting any structures.

Storms don't bother our new pup, we're having a great time watching Bandit play. Of all his toys, he prefers our throw rugs. It's been 2 years since Smokey passed, we needed this exercise.
7/28/2018 6:30 PM 0.03 M M M M Guess no more rain is coming except this little shower earlier. At least it cools off enough to bake brownies for my firefighters.
