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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stacey and Scott 1,404 Posted February 17, 2025 This was last summer/fall, about ten miles north of the house. Took about two weeks to knock it down, no structure's lost. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacey and Scott 1,404 Posted February 17, 2025 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. VID_20250207_124911.mp4 VID_20250207_124911.mp4 VID_20250207_124911.mp4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theksmith 5,778 Posted February 17, 2025 jealous of the snow! we haven't gotten any really good snow storms this year 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dzJeepChic 2,897 Posted February 17, 2025 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! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
