Bring on the precipitation. Whatever form we get, it’s welcome!
Hopefully this snow is heavy enough to put the fire out.
Hopefully LOTS of snow.
Wet wood doesn't catch fire as easily as the tinderbox they have had to deal with.
The litter on the forest floor also gets covered. Slows things down a bit.Quote:

I agree it?s not likely given the surprise snow we had in September didn?t hamper the Cameron Peak Fire all that much, but every little bit helps and let?s the firefighters get that much further along in building defensible spaces where needed. I?d bet at the very least the snow through Monday will be influential in significantly improving the containment.Quote:

Awesome! This should definitely help with some containment and give the crews some needed rest
