Fires can spread uncontrollably and if we don't have water to fight it we could be looking at another Paradise CA.

When the heat and smoke levels are elevated I can't breath, I can't get out and enjoy nature, I can't get out and do anything. I physically shut down. The snow is hard to navigate. But you can ilve

Smokey summer brings health issues to the impaired with compromised systems. Snow will always melt away.

Smoke is more damaging for your health, the environment and the animals. It has a longer lasting and damaging effect on the ecosystem .

Smoky summers mean poor forest management. It's months and months, whereas the snow is only a couple of weeks.

Smokey summer was horrible enough to pollute our air quality so much it made our air toxic. I’ll take the snow any day! No problem there.

Snow is natural and fun. No fun in smoke, Finally, smoke is dangerous to human, but individuals create their own hazard in winter.

Snow is beautiful...you can play in it, exercise from shoveling, brings neighbors out helping each other, and so so much more. There is not ONE thing good about smoke in the air.

The smoky summers active my Migraines, so I would much rather dig myself out from a huge snow storm then be down for weeks with a migraine!

I can't stand the smoke. Snow is awesome and shoveling just crushes calories. Then I don't feel guilty for enjoying a beer or three.

Playing outside in the smoke is terrible. You can play in the snow wherever you are and make winter more fun. Summer gets ruined with smoke

a well-informed population makes everyone safer... can't trust anything coming out of HHS, CDC, or RFKJrs mouth...not to worry tho, soon all the smart folks will get vaccinated and the MAGAs will die of a preventable disease because they chose not to get a shot...

RFK Jr. is dangerous and is dismantling health research funding and spreading false info about vaccines. The Alliance of Westcoast Governors was formed to ensure public access to credible info re: vaccine safety and efficacy. Anyone who thinks that's bad is obviously a MAGA idiot!

The people who voted "Yes" for this obviously do NOT know the law. It is unlawful for T to send national guard troops into ANY state uninvited! He is just trying to intimidate and terrorize blue states, when red states have much higher rates! He is the felon/criminal who needs to be behind bars!
