Ice and Fire Updates
On November 13 my son and his wife were back in their Westlake Village house, safe, and with no damage. Power is on. The Woolsey fire is still dangerous and still being fought, but they are safe at their home, though much is burned in three directions around them.
My daughter in law's parents at Sherwood Lake are evacuated, but safe, and their home is not threatened now. Flames in the canyon below came within yards of their house on Tuesday the 13th before countervailing winds and firefighters stopped the spread there.
On November 13 the overnight low in Santa Fe was 11 degrees. During the day it barely got above 30 degrees, and ice patches and snow linger. This is insane.
I never got the water out of Big Red The Rain Barrel, thinking I had plenty of time before Thanksgiving to drain it and tip it on its side for winter. The whole barrel is a block of ice encased in red plastic now.
Fire. Ice. November.
