Since we are burning I'd say all of us up here will take whatever we can get, rain/snow.

Just saw that fire. Who would've thought after last year we'd all be hoping for rain.
-
No houses lost last night, great job.
-
I was surprised as well. There are definitely issues with fires in the ground as it's been so dry. The photos I've seen this evening on social media, which can be tricky because of exposure time, show lots of fire moving north, south, and west, which is also crazy to me. I'm guessing the air tankers were just rumors this week because I've seen nothing about them in operation.

Not a good evening in Greenwood Lake as the fire jumped the line. There are evacuations and an urgent request went out for any local fuel company that can refuel an engine that's on the fire line protecting homes.
-
Agreed, don't really see the need to literally jump in this case.

Everything I’ve read and seen on smoke jumpers confirms your thoughts, they’re the best around. I remember a book in my grade school library ‘Smoke Jumpers’ that I would check out on a regular basis. I can only imagine being out there for water drops, I bet it made the ground shake! I’ll be interested to see photos/videos of the fire retardant drops this weekend.

@BxEngineI read yesterday that there are smoke jumpers from Colorado and Montana heading to the Jennings Creek/Greenwood Lake fire. That's impressive IMO but maybe has happened in the past more often than I realize? Any ideas? I thought the same thing about the air tankers heading in to drop retardants, clearly an all out blitz this weekend to put this thing down.

Sure is with 9% terrain open.

21 for the low here, 19 at KMGJ
-
Only got to 21 here, so no first teens of the season. KMGJ up the road got down to 19.

I'm always amazed at how the spiders love my weather station, and work really fast! I had .31 in the Stratus too the other day. There's always the debate on how accurate the tippers are but I think I've found a case where the Stratus can be off. I've notice in heavy downpours, which were a thing until recently, if I have the internal measuring tube with funnel inside the "bucket" it can under report. When I've taken the inner tube out ahead of heavy downpours and then measured after the fact both the Davis tipper and the Stratus were much closer in rainfall totals. I think the funnel can cause some of the heavy drops to splash out. That's my news.

Looks like 23 with do it for the low here this morning. First teens of the season forecast tonight, we shall see.
-
I looked at a couple Davis weather stations at Greenwood Lake. Both reported 0.00…it’s the season for clogged tippers. I have a debris screen in mine but it can still get fouled up, I cleaned mine out yesterday morning. The Meso location in Warwick reported .20.

Tomorrows strong winds and dropping dews won't be good.
-
.31
-
.02
-
Whatever rain it is can't get here fast enough with the region burning.
-
Forecast was 21, made it down to 26 for the low.
-
Yeah, it's being shared by a number of sources, just looking the official announcement. Clearly it just sucks.
-
Allegedly a forest ranger was killed today at the brush fire in Greenwood Lake. Looking for confirmation.
-
Agreed. Between the 08-09 and 17-18 seasons I averaged 53" a season. Between 18-19 and 23-24, which obviously includes the 11.6" from November 2018, my average is 38"
-
Temp had dropped to 68...back up to 71 now...wtf
-
Sunset over two and a half hours ago on Nov 6 and it just dropped to 70. Just plain stupid.
