Grass fires spread fast and can go in all directions and don't take much to spark them..

On a windy days dry grass fires are very hard to get under control and they can flair back up for a long time.

I hate seeing smoke on the horizon, more so in a dry spring with brown grass everywhere.

At times I couldn't see smoke or where it was coming from, only smell it.

We've got nothing in Calgary for snow, the nearest white fields to me were the ones I saw on the way to Rocky Mountain House.

I still have a few deep drifts in the trees at the edge of my farm yard where I piled up snow.

It's been yrs since we had that much snow, it'll be awhile before that all goes away. Is there a risk of flooding or is there good drainage?
