That is such a cool video. Bummer about the fire but interesting to watch.

Lighting strike from a storm no one was expecting. Went from zero to 300 acres almost immediately. Now holding it inside the fire lines, we've been doing structure protection at night. During the day the tanker aircraft have been dumping tens of thousands of gallons of water & retardant. Sitting around 1200 acres burned. FYI, the "watch duty" app is free and gives tons of real time info nationality.

We had an amazing Aurora event above our tiny little town here the other night.

This was last summer/fall, about ten miles north of the house. Took about two weeks to knock it down, no structure's lost.

About three foot and counting, the icicle was seven and a half foot long when I snapped it off. The pups have become full blown mountain mutts digging the snow.

The aurora borealis video is insane!! That is so so frickin cool. So is that ice cycle, I've never seen a 7' one. 

Oddly, we got about 8" of snow in January here on the Gulf Coast. It was a sight, and I guess that hasn't happened for 125 years. What a fluke!
