Wildfire!

Well its been unseasonably warm in Colorado this winter, today is another 68degree day with warm winds. There has been no precipitation here for 24 days now, and even that was snow - it hasn't rained since i've been here. Things are so dry there are huge wildfires usually only seen during the height of summer.

This fire started about 6.30pm last night, and when i went to bed covered only 5 acres. When i woke up at about 6.30am this morning, it had grown to 2700 acres and was all over the TV for hours. Its pretty much under control now I think, but when i opened the door this morning, i could smell the smoke and i'm miles and miles away from it.
