drkrider Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well officially Fire Season starts March 1st in Alberta but considering there's still 3 feet of snow in the bush, I think it will be a little later when things kick off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bif Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I got the impression that this has been a fairly mild winter (based on things around home in Edmonton)... is this not the case elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildrose Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I think the fact that there is zero frost under all this snow means it is going to dry up fairly quickly. That dry ground will be thirsty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitestone Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Have to concur with drkrider, there's about three + feet of snow in the bush and about a foot and a half of fairly solid wind blown on most of the lakes in my neck of the woods. Good time to pull out the snow shoes and give yourself a bit of a work out. Not sure what part of Canada you are in Wildrose but where i am the ground is like concrete and i am not energetic enough to find out how far down the frost goes. Maybe you are on the West Coast?

rainman Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 We still have 2 months of Heliskiing to get through! Fires seem a long way off. Come May though it usually happens much faster than lots of folks are ready for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlandsalot Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Spring in the Kooteneys, worst snow year in a long time. Early to guess but the Columbia Valley is looking prime! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrkyle Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Spring in the Kooteneys, worst snow year in a long time. Early to guess but the Columbia Valley is looking prime! Kootenay region snowpack is currently 97% and Columbia region is 93%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
