User ID: 76930440 United States 06/07/2023 07:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm late to the part . I just walked outside to go to the market and it's so thick of smoke here on the pennsylvania delaware border. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84308477 That's crazy. I'm in NH and the only thing I'm seeing is a hazy sky. No smoke smell or smog. I wonder if it will eventually reach us. We're so much closer to Quebec than you are. Seems odd. |

I thought I was going crazy because while the sky is a little hazy, I can see a slight blue sky and fluffy clouds above me. That top haze is dropping something because these aren't rain clouds. Anyone else? |

(OP) User ID: 79791361 United States 06/07/2023 08:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Massive hail storm in Saratoga county last night, about 45 minutes of straight hail. I will try to upload the video here, one of my workers brought the hail inside his house and let it melt. He ended up with a mess of "dusty like particles" on his counter. Sun red/orange again today, smells like burning plastic. [link to gispub.epa.gov (secure)] The maroon patch from the above link that is hazardous will be entering NY today and I'm assuming due east because of the storm disturbance occurring in NE Canada now. Not sure what this means for when this could be over. The worst has not happened yet in upstate NY I believe. Rooster |

Quoting: fingerstofight144 The sun looked so weird and when I took a pic of it the red color didn't show up in the photo except for the outer ridge. I took a picture yesterday evening. The sun was blood red, but did not show up on picture either. Here's what I got... https://imgur.com/bG6nvtS Nice pic Rooster |

User ID: 85401822 United States 06/07/2023 08:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Very Surprised to not see any threads on this. Quoting: Rooster420 "airnow" shows all of the northeast in the red and from western to central NY in the purple (AirQualityIndex of 203, BAD)---> The primary pollutant being fine particulate matter with a width of less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5). This is unprecedented in this region. Anyone else experiencing the dense haze and the orange sun? The reflection the sun makes on the ground and other things is creepy AF. Below is a picture of the current AQI in the northeast region. [link to gispub.epa.gov (secure)] It is evidence of global warming/climate change so all of the people rejecting it will ignore it. The liberal types do the same with evidence that proves them wrong. Perfect; man/terror made wild fires from god lightning strikes in way far north Canada burning down the forests gonna convince everyone to pay rich pricks carbon money to save the planet, works every time /scar. This shit storm is coming better fill up your water buckets and pray for a deluge! It might be wise to be able to identify a joke and a pun. Powerful dis~information requires individual observation and individual conclusions. When something stinks badly some have little doubt that it's bullshit. Others might have trouble identifying it because of the loss of smell due to plague. |

Many Canadians on Twitter saying something doesn't smell right with this fire. Keep pets inside and close your windows. I was outside yesterday evening for 10 minutes and I'm still coughing. You can see the air quality index here. My area is 213 right now. Check yours before you go out. [link to www.airnow.gov (secure)] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 85399834 Canada 06/07/2023 08:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good thread, OP. I’m in central Ohio and we’ve had air quality warnings for the past few days now without a good explanation. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79742430 It wouldn’t be an issue if we had some RAIN. We haven’t had any worthwhile rain in at least a month. We’ve got loads of our own dust and pollen mucking up the air…Canada’s fires are just the cherry on top. The landscapers will be out into force tommorow getting everyone's lawns ready for the weekend. Endless gas blowers blowing every speck of toxic dust and crap from the streets and gutters in front of the houses into the air. Should be a pleasant day to not breathe. Man I hate those fucking things. |

(OP) User ID: 85055213 06/07/2023 09:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Looks like AQI counts are being fabricated now. Purpleair is the site that looks like its telling most of the truth. In Scotia, NY right now it wreaks of burning plastic. We have a big problem here. I went to work at 6 and it was at 197, now its at 283!!!! WTF! All the background mountains are blotted out. Syracuse, NY is approaching 500. Rochester too. I do not care if you are healthy or unhealthy this is going to hurt people in the long and short term. Please be as safe as possible! Rooster |

It’s filtration qualities may actually work for the particulates that are in the air right now. Oh, BTW it’s a beautiful bright sunny morning here in East Texas. Blue skies, soft morning sun, and little critters all around laughing and playing.. |

It didn't rain and I wasn't parked anywhere near trees. When I used the windshield washer it just smeared like sap would have. |
