loaded up the car here in minn-nd border and it is 68 degrees at noon. Hazy with fire smoke and it smells like the neighbor is burning his wood pile which i thought was true but its coming from canada? Reminds me of when i lived in california and camped out at the area around Columbia, an old gold mining town.

 

The forests around columbia were burning but campers were allowed to camp and with all the smoke people just put up with it and went about their business as we did. We were there to dredge for gold, we had gold fever and nothing was gonna keep us from dredging so we dredged on.

Yep, its thick here today too.  Almost like a thin layer of clouds.  The smell is noticeable too, like you said it smells like someone is burning something.

 

We just can't win here.  A north wind brings in Canadian smoke, a south wind brings in heat and humidity.  And it never rains.  I swear we are living on Mars here.

Ah yes…memories of college

We were dealing with that related smoke out here in the mid-Atlantic last week. Had a storm move through and did clear it out. Late day yesterday toronados were in the area. Tore a lot up, big damage. Did get a lot of rain in a short period of time. My borough was not hit. Next county over got slammed. Storm crossed the whole lake. Hate to have been caught on that lake with my pants down. 

smoke from last week in minnesota.
