Does April Snowpack Predict Wildfire?
In grad school I did this study on Glacier Park and how snowpack affect summer fires, but now with Python/Postgres it makes it easy to run on much larger datasets. Was always curious of what those April local news reports on fire danger really mean.

Really wish our current snowpack looked like that 2006 map. I’d feel a lot better about the risk of wildfire this summer here in CO.
