Smoke

[Process]

It's everywhere. All of WNY smelling like a bonfire.

Now we have the full California experience in WNY. We already had the taxes. The smoke in the air completes the experience.

Don't forget the earthquake a few months ago

i was just bitching about this.  my entire office smells like a campfire, and it's getting worse.  they've canceled after school sports, and the kids aren't allowed to go out for gym or recess.  i know by me it's going to be at its worst around 4-5 today.

We have the same orange sky and burnt smell across Syracuse and CNY.

Same deal here in Horseheads (chemung co).  it burns your eyes if ya are outside for awhile.

CT too. Smelling like burnt tires out here. Sun was looking eerie this AM.

It's a wildfire in Canada...

Kids are pussys.

 

We used to play with matches when I was a youngster.

Probably just that one neighbour who insists on burning their household garbage. 🤔

there was a period of time when my brother and i were young, that my dad worked for baush and lomb.  i don't know what he was thinking, but he would bring us home magnifying glasses, and needless to say we set everything on fire.  we were finally banned from their use when we set about of hour front lawn on fire after burning leaves in the fall.

Take a dump on the sidewalk if you really want to go full Cali.

Fortunately none of this smoke in Northern Virginia map.

 

Those without objections to wearing masks can use leftover COVID-19 maps.

My wife uses hers for gardening to avoid pollen.

I’m in northeastern NY (Glens Falls/Lake George area) and we can see/smell the smoke here, too.

that is the freakiest part about the smoke effect. The sky takes on a pale orange effect and soot will gather on your car windows when it is really bad. Be  glad you aren't evacuated like I' ve had to be twice already. Pack your car fast and get Out. It royally sucks.

 

In socal we get "santa ana winds" which spur wild fires. NOT my favorite thing.

HUSH! We don’t want to start the mudslides or earthquakes! I know not how much jinx juice you carry. I don’t want you being held responsible.
