We are justifying being unprepared.
This it's me. Winter storms haven't been a big issue this winter, because we're in a drought and snowpack is maybe half what it should be in the mountains. People who coasted on being unprepared for winter got a free pass, but the upcoming wildfire season could be worse than they have been lately, so it's more important than ever to clear brush and consider evacuation plans. Few do.
