No rain in 37 days and Smoke Everywhere

[Pearce Pastures]

So sorry you are going through that. I sure hope we have some more stable weather this coming year.

Any rain in sight yet? I was thinking about the smoke and how long and I really can't imagine what it must be like. The fire, smoke,drought. Yet some places are flooding. Makes me remember to be thankful, and more mindful of what others are really suffering through.

They were saying mid next week, but they're backing off on that prediction. :/ Sigh. The front may blow the smoke out of the valleys, though. That would be a plus.

Been treating Oreo, my buck, for a sinus infection. One of my dogs, Thor, has one too and is on antibiotics. Had a really sick doe two weeks ago who is fine now but who had pneumonia due to the smoke. Got to love that.

I sure hope you get some rain or snow soon! The fires aren't coming your way are they? That must really be tough. I can't even imagine trying to deal with that when there is nothing you can do about it.

Luckily the fires haven't been near us this year. I'm hoping it stays that way! But the fires from the Mustang Complex and the Sawtooth fires shoot right up the mountains from the Bitterroot to our south and make it pretty intolerable. Still, it's better than having to evacuate. I've been through enough fires in my life including several standby evacuation and one for real evacuation that I know it can get really hairy fast.

Still no rain.

We MAY get rain sometime mid next week -- the forecasts suggest it. Let's hope!

Sorry.

I'm with you, praying for rain. The winds have blown a good bit of the smoke out of the valley yesterday and today, but it moves right back in.

The forecast last night on my weather app said snow, and I can believe it. We've got the cold snap to the air, and I see some suspicious clouds lurking around out there.

Yesterday we got some snow!

42 days without moisture is a bit much. We have colder temperatures now, but no precipitation for the next week. Sigh.

I would take snow too...still nothing here

How is the smoke in the air? Getting better?

Smoke cleared up for a bit and then came back yesterday. Need more rain or snow. Cool temperatures are a relief though.

We have had so much rain here the ground is saturated, you walk through a field and it sloshes. I found myself complaining yesterday and then I thought of you guys. Humbling actually, reminded me to be thankful in all things. Praying for rain for you
all.
