Default Canadian smoke in the Villages?

I just stepped outside and smelled smoke.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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