Okay, now we’re getting some solid Tatlanika wildland fire smoke on Keystone Ridge. 55°F, light rain and SE wind at 3 mph. Very hazy with fog and low ceiling — so I guess “smog”? #MyAlaskaWx #MyAlaskaSmoke

Fire Adapted Communities have developed this tool to estimate a community Wildfire Resilience Index. https://wildfireindex.org/ Surprisingly, they find communities (esp. wealthy communities) are better set for wildland fire recovery compared to fire resistance. In other words we spend most of our effort on great homeowner insurance and skimp on prevention and preparation. Resilience requires both.

It’s not over. Overnight low of 30°F allowed ~1/4” accumulation of snow on cool surfaces on Keystone Ridge (~1650ft MSL). Photos compare snowpack on 4/21/26 and 5/6/26. The relentless snowpack melt continues though there’s always hope for an always welcomed June snow. #MyAlaskaWx
