Colorado fires update, Sun, Oct 25, 2020

A bit more than a week ago, it was very hot, everything was extremely dry, our neighborhood was threatened by a nearby and out-of-control wildfire, another fire, a huge one, exploded up in the mountains to the west of us, joining a third huge one that has been burning for a couple months in the mountains to the northwest of us. After a week of anxiety and on and off mandatory evacuations, we finally returned home a few days ago. Over the past two days, we received nearly a foot of snow and single digit temperatures. Up in the higher mountains, they received up to two feet of snow. The fires aren't fully out—the air is still full of smoke—but they have been stalled and tamped down by the snow, increasing the odds that the firefighters can get them all under control.
