A couple of weeks ago when NYC was smoky, I talked to my cousin(s) in the Chicago area and asked how the air was there - at the time, nothing out of the ordinary.

Yesterday (06/27/2023) I got a text from my cousin who lives in a condo just SW of the city - she was getting heavy smoke there, with visibility down to about 1 block. (She lives on the 4th floor.)

We did a couple of years ago and earlier this year from Canadian wildfires in BC and Alberta.

It is a yearly thing in parts of the PNW/ID/MT, but now it is smoking out a different subset of US residents and they think the world is coming to an end. With El Nino kicking into gear and building things are going to get a little bumpy all over for a while.

Sometimes it looks like the world is ending. But you are right, it isn't going any faster than usual. But now that we know the Yellowstone magma chamber is much bigger than was previously known it does give hope.

We're a little hazy.  While we can see some distance away, we can't see the mountains 35-40 miles north of here.  They're normally easily visible.

It was hazy all morning, which I assume had something to do with temps being relatively mild . Thanks, Canucks!

While not as bad as Chicago or Detroit, St. Louis was not in good shape this morning.  Funny thing was that it got worse later in the morning (9 am-noon) but then started to break up.

Today is the worst it's been so far with the Canuck Smoke.  You cannot see more than a couple of miles across the local area from the hill we are on.  And you can actually catch some of the burning brush smell now and again.
This morning I drove up north on US321 about three miles to the Wally World gas station we frequent.  Stepped out of my truck and the burning brush smell was really pronounced.  Back home now and the smell is not nearly as strong.  Funny how just a few miles makes such a large difference.

Went into East Dundee IL today (west Chicago burb).

Leaving Freeport, I'd estimate visibility at about a mile.  It's actually somewhat clearer here (in ED).

Well, the moose population will increase after the fires subside. This is good, because I am planning on moose hunting in Canada in a few years.

Looks like the red zones Wednesday have lightened up a bit.
Been raining here all morning.

It was better than most summer days around here. Now the morning after was rough - very humid.

Crap, Monty Python. I thought it was a reference to Letter Kenny or Trailer Park Boys.

No seriously, stand destroying fires will allow a explosion of moose, deer and black bears. Probably grouse too.

Not to hijack this thread, but . . .East Dundee? Decades ago when I still lived in Chicago there used to be a rifle range there - I think it was called Fox Valley Range. (This was back in the '70s.) Pretty big place, associated gun shop. Is it still there or has it been paved over into another subdivision during the intervening years?
