Canadian smoke in the Villages?

[Rainger99]

I just stepped outside and smelled smoke.

It may be from the Canadian fires. Is it all over the Villages?

More likely trash burning.

[theorem painter]

They have been burning on 466 for weeks.

[Laker14]

I think you are OK down there. I just checked the AirNow App. 39 in TV.= "good"

Up here in the Finger Lakes of Western NY...442.= "off the charts bad"...

UGH.

[2newyorkers]

On Long Island it appears to be cloudy and everything has a yellow haze. You can smell smoke form the Canadian fires.

[NotGolfer]

Furtherest south is North Carolina, I heard. Smoke here is probably from the burning of brush to clear land. NOTHING like any of that stuff in NYC etc.

[Chi-Town]

Close to City Fire?

[Worldseries27]

close to city fire?
no, it's smoke on the water

Canadian fire smoke is not reaching us per the map, must be from another source.

[dewilson58]

That's not Canadian Smoke................Canadian's might be smoking it, but more and more Villagers are smoking IT. Hang on when it's legal.

:loco:

[Worldseries27]

Time to mountie up n go north

[Captainpd]

Hmmmmm. Let's get 3 pages in response to a "I think post". It's not Canadian smoke so the post has been answered.

Such a shame there is so much intentional burning that goes on here, in Virginia and around the country. So much pollution and so much for people really caring about global warming. I guess GW is about the money.

[La lamy]

I'm in Canada right now and it's BAD. No going outside for days. The smoke has not reached Florida.

[msilagy]

Thanks for that website airnow.gov as I checked Fl (good) Chicago,(moderate) NY NY (very unhealthy). We'll see how this all plays out.

[edtherock]

They have been burning debris and trees - cleared some land- just off 466 across the street by the Palmer laurel valley course. Been going on for a few weeks off and on.

Go to Airnow.gov and put in your zip code, it will advise on your air quality

Yours is perfect.....................

[collegeref]

I don’t get it with such
an easy solution. Take those windmills honing in the wales to beaches
give ‘em a 180 and blow the smoke back to Canada

Makes sense.

[OhioBuckeye]

Really on the news it only shows it’s only as far as N. Carolina. What we need is a good rain to knock down the smoke. If you do smell smoke it’s not affecting your health. When they show you N. Y. it looks like fallout from a nuclear bomb. I would lose any sleep over it yet. Surprise the govt. haven’t stepped up & help but it only sounds like they think more money is the solution. It’s not a threat in Florida yet!

What are you expecting the government to do?

[Two Bills]

El Nino, a regular and natural occurrence, has just started in Pacific ocean, so things will get hotter.
Drought in Australia, wetter in Southern US, and reduce India's Monsoon season, add a warmer planet, and record world heat is forecast.
Good job we are in a seven year cooling period.:icon_wink:

[tuccillo]

The situation in the northeast may improve in 4-5 days. A low over the Great Lakes area will result in southerly flow.

" blame canada"

[Normal]

Even Cheach and Chong could answer this one with a definite “No”. They would refer to their album,”Up in Smoke” as a reference .

With all the "hot air" coming out of D.C., I'm surprised it got past there and reached N.C. :D

"South Park"... The answer to everything... :bigbow::bigbow::bigbow:

provide information, services where possible and support. On the Federal level a tougher statement to Trudeau and Canada might help. Climate change? I don't believe so.

[dougawhite]

We don't have 'Canadian Smoke' down here, we have 'Developer Smoke'. It also sometimes comes with mirrors included..

[MrFlorida]

Most likely your neighbors fire pit.

[Two Bills]

Do you think Canada set these fires deliberately?
Does Trudeau control wind direction?
I suppose all the forest fires in US burn smokeless.
Get used to it, warmer drier weather will bring more fires.
It is a worldwide problem.
Get used to it.

[Hmfed16]

Fire in the sky.
Didn’t it die with an awful sound?

[MrChip72]

Most of the fires were due to lightning in remote areas (no roads for 50 miles or more in some places) that were extremely dry, almost no rain for a 60 days span in warm spring conditions.

This level of fires has not happened in recorded history in that part of Canada. Climate change has been the accepted explanation for these fires by almost a large majority of scientists worldwide.

It’s called control burn . Canada and California might learn a few things if they did the same. If you burn the under brush then fires don’t rage out of control . Florida does a great job hence we have no wild fires.

[Velvet]

Don’t tell me otherwise! I can smell that it is Canadian smoke.

I agree, definitely Canadian Smoke. I would tell you how you can tell, but I best not.

I can guess. LOL

I have read about the smoke from the Canadian wildfires, but until I saw it in person, it didn’t seem as bad.

Flew into Indianapolis today and the haze and smell is horrible. Air quality is “Poor”. Took some pics. This is NOT evening dusk, it is haze from the wildfires up north.

Did the “smoke” smell kind of like a skunk? How did you feel after you smelled it? Asking for a friend….

there's been regular burning since we moved here, going on 5 years ago. i'm fairly sure it's the dead trees/vegetation, & trees they took down to build new homes. i learned Fl actively does this in efforts to reduce wildfires from spreading.
