Pics from Ontario look wild. Reckon it's possibly headed our way, but the mountains might funnel it up the St. Lawrence.

Edit: it has arrived and knocked the temp down, tbh. Smoky as all hell though.

Visibility was under a mile a few hours ago. There's little bits of ash floating around at times, it almost looks like little snow flurries.

This is much worse than it was a few years ago (2023 I think?).


It’s strong here in New Hampshire.

The entire sky has been an odd shade of yellow and impending thunderstorm the last two days. End of times looking stuff.

Hoping we get an awesome sunset at least…


I owe you a reply.

The sky is not blue. Can also smell the smoke at times.

Like standing 15 ft downwind from a campfire. Can we send a Tenderfoot scout to the next camp to bring us a Smoke shifter?


Just say "fuzzy bunnies" on repeat. *

But I don’t really see much problem out my window right now.


The sun shadows on the ground are spooky.

Seeing pics from the UP of cars covered in ash. The bridge is looking spooky.


Around this time last year, we were in a hotel in Mackinaw

City on the Huron side. On our last day, you couldn't see the bridge nor the island.

The day before, we road our bike near Mullet Lake. You could only see about halfway across.

But a friend camping up in Oscoda is packing up and heading home. They are 150 yards from the shore of Lake Huron and can’t see it.

They sent pictures and the smoke was thick. AQI was 785 there this morning.

that we didn't have any smoke this year. I think for the last 2 year (if not 3) we've had the smoke all summer and I wondered if all the fires were out or what had changed. Sounds like we're getting the smoke back today


Supposed to arrive tonight in West MI

But only forecasted to stick around for 2 days or so.

The sky is a hazy gray-orange. It looks like the sun set about 10 minutes ago

Hazy orange skies and you can smell the burning

It was like huffing Marlboro Reds in a steam room.
