Even the winter here was really dry. We got snow on the first of November and that same snow wss around till March. There was a stretch of 50 plus days where the temperature didn't rise above 0. So no freeze thaw, and without checking records, it felt like less snow than other years. So when that ground is this dry...any fire is going to move fast.
