There is a new and obscure—but I think very important—paper on how diminishing amounts of snow greatly enhance the probabilities of more extreme forest fires: Geographically divergent trends in snow disappearance timing and fire ignitions across boreal North America, published in Biogeosciences in January. After the mildest Canadian winter ever, with a bare minimum of snow in most every forest, this paper is prescient and pertinent.
