The plague of smoke. The fires of California, Oregon and Washington have issued an alert for our area – air quality. Today we officially had the worst air quality in the world. My last post shows the normal view from our top deck. This is it today:

On September 4th we experienced a smokey harbinger. I was listening to the afternoon news, which predicted possible haze and colourful sunsets due to a combination of those southern fires and wind conditions. At 5:00pm I caught a glimpse of something unusual.

It was confirmed by CBC's meteorologist as a smoke induced phenomena. Smoke from hundreds of miles away.
