Outside last night I could detect a whiff of what smelled like a campfire. Today in DC, my school has canceled all outdoor activities, including recess. That really sucks, because when I have the older kids at the end of the day, extra recess at the end of class is a really a nice incentive.
It smelled like campfire and burning rubber this morning. Thick haze. All outdoor school activities including recess are canceled. Pretty gross. #thankscanada
I have no idea about Canada but in CA there is very ineffective forest management. When hiking in the mountains, I have seen numerous incidents of trees growing up into power lines in very severe fashion.
They also only clear cut about 15 feet on either side on do not do it nearly often enough. It's gotta be 50 feet and it has to be maintained.
tap water right now? Wouldn't the soot and all the chemicals settle in the Reservoir and the water?
OMG, Is this a real question?
Give him a break. Anak, the water is fine. Even if the pollutants got into the billions of gallons of water you're drinking it not breathing it. You're all good.
Just north of Middletown, the skies are a solid light gray. As you look off into the distance it looks like a lifting fog. Supposed to get worse in the next couple of days and my daughter gradutaes Saturday. It's an outdoor ceremny, but we'll see about that.
The AQI's being seen in the New York area now are worse than the fires of 2018 and 2020 in California. During the fires of 2020 we were usually in the high 100's occasionally low 200's and it was the middle of COVID so we were all wearing masks anyway. I hope everybody is taking this seriously.
We are at a 190 right now.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
It is bad here in Hanover. The air is brown also.
I blame the Eagles and the Jets for all this, and possibly Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder.
Never in this neck of the woods.
Pfft I was wondering if it was actually completely overcast, or this is all the smoke. Seems like its all smoke.
Any idea when this Canadian wildfire going to let up?
My home zip code we are are at 171 Nowcast AQI. I've read anything over 150 is considered unhealthy for the general population. Link - ( New Window )
205 here in Oakland, NJ
You can hardly breathe out here without choking and it's only 170 AQI here and it's 235 in Manhattan.

That site has my zip at 460 right now. I know it's especially bad here in the Finger Lakes, but that can't be right, can it?
The small particles can ignite an allergic reaction. Quite common actually.
Hope this isn’t a glimpse into our future.

Hey brother, another local resident Giants fan. Nice. We gotta catch a game at Aroogas or Parkside some time.

Hopefully it continues to improve. I thought it seemed better yesterday morning only to have the afternoon get even worse than it had been on Tuesday.
