Wildfire Season III



Out for our evening walk tonight and the plume is mainly from the Chambers Lake fire. A good analysis of that fire:


In the second picture on the far left are twin peaks. The tallest, Longs Peak at 14,259’ is the 13th highest of Colorado’s 48 14 footers and the second highest of the Front Range 14’s (Mt Evans, Longs Peak, Pikes Peak).

Everyone is hoping for rain. The way 2020 is going, when we do get rain, it will likely be at flooding levels.

Yep, just one more 'hit' in 2020... sigh

The plume is now big enough to show up on the weather radar, much like the plumes from the Pine Gulch and Grizzly Creek fires by Grand Junction/Glenwood Springs.

A year to forget, but will live in legends.

We too are getting the light ash.
