Going to be a dry year.

Pretty scary looking out my window and seeing green mountain tops  The only thing good that may come from this is the Turkeys may be mating in March    Should be a good opener

You cant do anything about the weather so why worry about it. Think instead how to profit from this possibility; buy stock in fire retardant mayhaps?

Will be a wet summer.

   I think turkey ovulation is similar to other birds in that daylight has much more to do with it

Would be nice to have a bunch of toms running wild on the opener though

It felt like Memorial Day this afternoon. Goats were out tanning themselves. Drove clear up to 5500' today.

and every year that we have low sno pack in NE WA we end up with super wet springs and early summers

Yeah and that worries me.  I hate having heavy rains in May/June.  My wife's terrier found two fawns a few years back that had frozen to death in the rain.   

Wet springs also threaten turkey poults and grouse chicks.  If that first grouse brood survives, I believe it breeds late in the summer which gives a bumper crop of grouse in October, November

March and April are usually highest in snowfall in the mountains.
