For some reason I thought you guys would be loaded with snow.

Weather changes very quickly and to more extreme versions than usual. 70 degrees one day, snow a few hours later... and then back to 70 degrees. :P

We are having extreme temperature changes without the snow here in Marion, NC (WNC). It will be 70 + degrees F here one day and freezing at night and near freezing the next day. We have had two nights with hard freezes for us in the last two days. In fact they are the biggest freezes we have had this year.

70 MPH winds in Cheytown today and the past 2, no snow, this wind is drying us out, we truly need some snow, we know we're due maybe 3-4 more storms(hopefully). The western part of the state has gotten hammered and should be good for our drought and fires this season. We need all the moisture we can get!!!! Spring time in the Rockies

EDIT It is a start, but wet winters combined with bone dry spring and summers equals 1988. You get a lot of undergrowth growing that then dries up. Hopefully we get enough moisture through the spring and summer to help keep the fire season manageable.

I take it that undergrowth is the cause of wildfires in Wyoming.

The cause is usually lightning or the BLM/Forest Service/Game & Fish doing "controlled burns". The contributing factor to the fire after it is started is the deadfall/dead brush on the forest floor due to lack of forest fires.

They don't don't do controlled burns during the dead of summer.

Like WyCowboy said the cause is typically lightning, though chainsaws, heat from vehicles parked in tall grass, downed power lines, unattended campfires, cigarette butts have all started their fair share of fires. Dry undergrowth isn't the cause as much as it is a contributing factor.

Like starting any fire, harder to get a fire started by starting with just one big piece of wood, even for a lightning strike. How many trees get struck by lightning, yet how many of those actually start fires? Few, very few. Add in dry fuel like dry deadfall, dry brush and grass and you are essentially making kindling for the fire to start and grow. What happened in 1988 was a wet winter and spring generated a lot of undergrowth, but the summer was so dry all that undergrowth dried up making excellent kindling for when the lightning, chainsaw sparks, hot tail pipes, etc started all the multiple fires.

Especially in the southern part of the state. Although you gotta watch those easterners too. Was camping in Montana and some ignoramus from Wisconsin went to sleep with their camp fire full on blazing...

Sir, sir, you need to put out your fire, smh.
