Smokey Bear, in front of Bend (Oregon) Fire and Rescue Station 301. Photo by Steve Stenkamp.
When Smokey Bear is knee deep in snow and his hat has taken on a new shape, it could be a sign that the end of the wildland fire season is near. Or, is this a false alarm?
Thanks and a tip of the Smokey Bear hat go out to Steve Stenkamp.

Hold on to your hat (literally). After tracking four decades of fire seasons Southern California and the week before Thanksgiving is a good guess that very strong winds (Santa Ana) will blow into down.
