Here in the inland northwest, it is cool enough that the snowpack is staying longer than forecasted in the mountains and the rain has exceeded usual levels to alleviate drought. I really hope we avoid another bad wildfire season, but there are no guarantees even here.

I wonder why the snowpack is still there. I guess cooler high altitude winds or something like that? Or from all the rain adding more ice layers to it?
Yeah, the wildfire seasons out west have gotten beyond scary. I hope yal avoid another bad one also!
Well, we were barely below normal snowpack a couple months ago, but temperatures have been so much cooler than normal that it hasn't melted as fast as usual, while rainfall has kept runoff high anyway. As a result, we're now in a good position for water.
I get it!
