Look out and you would think the neighbors house is on fire.
Anyone else here getting this?

This *expletive deleted*it again...

Yesterday and today are pretty bad here.
-
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.

Not saying the world is coming to an end just don't like it.

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.

By that map we're in green, right next to yellow. Super hazy out there.
-
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.

The US needs to sue Canada over this.

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?

It's been brutal in NW Indiana.

Amusing that you ask if anyone else is getting it and then post a map of who's getting it.
By the map, if "here" is eastern Ohio, my Son1 is getting some whiffs of it.
We've got our own smoke "here," thank you, Canadian imports not necessary. And we get enough trash from California every once in a while.

Don't know about the Fox Valley Range (I go over the Fox River just before I turn off), but GAT Guns is about a half mile down from the customer I go in to see. (Not often, once very 2-3 months usually). I'l usually drop in to GAT Guns when I start back.

And never at any point did the article say why this was supposed to happen. I was waiting for a global warming appeal, but I didn't get it.
They didn't mention the Texas Gulf Coast either. I guess we will only reach broiling temps down here.
Same old story: Find or generate the slightest anomoly, blow it out of proportion, sell a fear-mongering article on it.
As far as a direct Global Warming Appeal is concerned, that's not necessary. All that is needed in the grand Leftist strategy is successive impacts relating to one of their pet issues.
As one of the greatest advertising experts of all time once said as early as the 1930s, "Throw an impact out there often enough and it becomes the truth."
Can't remember offhand who that was, but that's why advertisments are repeated (at great expense) time and time and time again, to generate links in peoples' minds.
