Hmmmm, interesting-you have less rain YTD than I do at 4500'. My YTD is 5.43in which is 1.11 above normal thanks to the good rains in January, March and April.

YUP...I double checked it and that's what I've got/had! Like I've said in the past, this "IS" the driest year thus far, that I have EVER seen up here in the mountains...everything is BROWN, even the Ponderosa Pines are turning brown. OH...BTW, the Live Fuel Moisture content is NOW down to 9.75%, kiln dry lumber at Home Depot, Lowes, FATCO etc is at 10% moisture content, like the article that I posted a few weeks back said, "The trees for all intents and purposes are dead, they just don't know it yet!"
