Yes. the drama. You assholes don't seem to believe that having whole towns in danger is anything but normal. The snows come later now in the Blue Mountains, and go off earlier. The winters are warmer, and the bug infestations more severe. By this time of year, the brush, trees, and grass is much dryer than it used to be. This is true, also, of the Cascades, especially the North Cascades.
