Hmm, moisture for us and Spring coming around. But that darn southern hemisphere is all backwards for them, it's end of summer and beginning of autumn there. Fires are only being fed more dry wood, I think that's how it works... rain is probably best hope. Haven't been keeping up with the news so don't know what's happening, gotta look up the link.
I'm in eastern Canada about an hour and a half from NY State and Vermont, (Santa's workshops way north of here!image)
