The issue is likely a lot more complex than you indicate. California is a lot bigger, but their policy is hands off when it comes to clearing underbrush. There is no forest management there. They stopped that decades ago. Truth be told, I know nothing about fire prevention, but obviously the Fire Chief of LA didn't exude much confidence either, since she was recently demoted. Part scapegoat, I understand. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is likely a lot more complex than you indicate. Overgrowth is a problem that experts all over the country admit to though, even the ones in California. They even publicly cited the boom in rainfall from a few years ago as a reason for massive overgrowth and the excessive wildfires back in January. They said because of the extremes of the pattern we are now in (excessive rainfall followed by extreme drought) big wildfires are now much more likely and are a year long threat not confined to one season. They also said that when California swings back to an excessive rainfall pattern there will be a threat of mudslides and landslides because of the burn scars.

They even admitted that overgrowth not being cleared after their last bout with excessive rainfall was a problem. Big picture here, if we don't fix the problem, nature will. The whole purpose of wildfires is to clear excessive growth. So either we do it, or nature will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday’s snow felt great, last one until December While I would place the chances of additional snow events over 2” relatively low, we’re still going to get transient periods of cold. That seems pretty clear. That said, I’m thrilled with the amount of forecasted 50 degree days this week and even if you look past this week, not seeing any abnormal cold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a necessary evil. One would think there has to a "happy medium". Not sure if you can sue for not salting? Especially when the forecast is for 1/4" of dry powdery snow. Potable water is impacted from too much salt. Not just for residents, but industry as well. More potable water is used by many industries with high ionic/TDS content... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
