I think I read about about the earlier snow melt.

When visited my cousin when he was at Denver U decades back he took me up into The Rockies on a motorcycle. Where we stopped by a lake we could see the snow capped blues by distance Continental Divide mountains. Glorious!

Thank goodness no fireworks near you!! I'll hope for the best for your area (and California) to be free from wildfires.
(Though do some small ones help the ecological balance - I'll go look that up)
