Extreme fire conditions all week with explosive growth of the East Troublesome fire ~45 mi our NW. However a strong cold front has passed and temps are currently near zero and we've received 0.42" precipitation in the past 36 hours. This amount in nowhere near enough to counter the severely dry conditions we've experienced over the past few months, but is at least an improvement. Warmer and dryer conditions expected to return by the end of the week
