Pretty Smokey Out There!

[Cabin Fever]

Crazy how the smoke from the Canadian wildfires can effect us so much! Almost looks foggy out there! Getting air quality alerts and the sun looks hazy. I took a 6 mile walk today and my throat feels scratchy. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have...

I noticed today things looks a bit hazy/smoky at my house and thought it was my eyes.  Apparently it is a bit smoky out there!

Wow. Is that where it’s coming from? I noticed it today on the east end of Long Island. Kind of a bluish haze just hanging around.

It was bad here.  My eyes watered all day.

It's getting worse here in northwest NJ.  I got my first ever email alert from my county and it was today about the Canadian wildfires.  My wife is coughing upstairs and I turned on the A/C just to help even though it's not very hot out.

Schools here cancelled all outdoor sports and activities.   It looked like something from another world all day. 

It was so dark outside lights were being triggered on.

Just think how bad it is up in Canada right by the fires ..

Terrible here in WNY today….better now than 1-3:00 

It smelled like a campfire was smoldering next door and the haze was awful.

I once lived outside Boulder, CO at 7,500’ elevation and we got bad wildfire smoke each year. It’s no fun, but you get used to it like anything else. But I haven’t been around it in years, and my eyes watered all day today.

Smelly in Maine too, but has been raining constantly since Friday, zero sun to distinguish how much smoke is here.

It’s a little better this evening than this afternoon, but I passed on skeet tonight.  I texted with two of my Canadian friends today.  One in Ottawa said it was really bad, but bearable inside.  The other has a fishing camp way up north and the whole town had to evacuate last Friday.  They still can’t go back and he can’t even fly his airplane over the lake to check on the camp.   They are praying for rain!

Oh, come on! If it was pot fields burning up there people would be out hanging tree stands and sucking in air like they just ran the 400 in 30 flat.

 

 

It's been bad here since about 10AM. It stinks, it almost has a feint chemical smell. Rained for about an half hour not too long ago which didn't help much, now it smells like damp musty wood burning. Saying tomorrow is supposed to be worse. I hope they get it under control up there so start slowing the destruction.

Same here in Rochester area. Hazy and smokey all day. Kids activities canceled today and tomorrow. The sun is a weird red color..

My nose has been running for 2 days. Get home and put the air on and it goes away.
