Well, yuck.

Seems we're getting smoke from Canadian wildfires. Looks like fog outside. Smells bad.
Good day to stay indoors!

1. Lots of pics yesterday from Wash. state of the smoke.

But to be fair, didn't some of the E. Washington fires send smoke north?
I am sure Canada is returning our used smoke.

2. Did a news search..that smoke is very wide spread here in the US.

Various levels of air quality alerts attributed specifically to the Canadian fires the covered the entire state of Minnesota; large parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, eastern Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri; northeastern Colorado; and much of western and central Washington.
Because the smoke was moving primarily east-southeast, the biggest U.S. impact is in Minnesota, where the state Pollution Control Agency said that "fine particle levels had reached unhealthy levels in a diagonal band across the state," which is "expected to continue to move across the state Monday evening and into the early morning hours Tuesday

I have to reach far back in my memory banks to think of a time when we had to endure forest fire smoke in the Pac. NW.

Really am very concerned about this alarming heat trend.
