Earl Adsley on snow in the mountains, fire in the forest, and life in the dry West

Earl Adsley spends his time measuring snow in the mountains of Idaho and guess what? More than half of the water consumed in the West started as snow in the mountains.
I talk to Earl about drought, about snow pack, about forest fires, and what all these things mean for the future of the place we call home. I learned a lot about how we get our water,  how difficult it is to predict how much we will have, and how precious all fresh water really is.
