"Days are longer, the sun warmer - maybe much warmer than it should be this time of year - and the spring wildlife is migrating back into town."
"Yes, sure, the running has been great this winter, but we all wince a little when we admit that. It feels as though we skipped winter entirely."
"Each water source is never a guarantee, and no raindrop is taken for granted. The strain is already apparent with local mountain economies struggling after a lackluster ski season."
"Last summer, a megafire - yes, an actual term - raged on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon for nearly three months."
The winter season has been unusually warm and dry, with little snow accumulation in areas typically covered in winter. Spring wildlife is returning, but the lack of precipitation raises concerns for the upcoming months. The experience of hiking in shorts instead of skis highlights the abnormal weather patterns. Local economies are already feeling the strain from a poor ski season, and the threat of drought and wildfires looms large, reminiscent of previous years affected by climate change.
