Colorado burning

[sbhooper]

Well, hunters, anybody headed out to hunt near Cow Creek, on the west slope of Colorado, be advised that a fire is raging there. It has jumped to 600 acres in size over night. They pulled the kid and his crew out of North Carolina to fight it. Fire season is not over til the snow flies!

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like a new fire near Aspen too.

Very windy and dry today, that's not going the help. Smelled the smoke this morning.

More red flag warnings for fire weather here tomorrow, along w winter weather advisory elsewhere in the state @ the same time. That's why it is so hard to answer the forum question, "What will the weather be like for my CO hunt?"

Snow on the mountain and fire in the valley!

It’s drier than a popcorn fart over most of Western Colorado. I hope we get moisture for hunting and fire suppresion.
