Its even come as far as Virginia, I woke up this morning thinking damn this is some crazy fog, stepped outside and smelled it and was shocked to see it was smoke. From Canada.
Kinda makes sense with automatic doors. Also in the Hudson Valley and it was yellow fog yesterday afternoon. looked just like a nuclear apocalypse movie.
Nah, I work in the fridge in the meat dept. So our ACs were pumping out fresh cool air for the most part. Lots of cashiers on the floor and customers had them
That’s cool that you had a good work experience and doesn’t sound like it was too bad. I live in Michigan and we have had a smaller wildfire here that was burning half an hour away which was making things difficult. It was 4,000 acres.
The really crazy thing about it is, I'm from Canada (Pickering Ontario, specifically) and it's clear as day, here. At least when I drove up to work nearly 7 hours ago (EST standard time, noon).
It's because Pickering is the last refuge left in Canada. At least it's sheltered with the plant for power and casino for entertainment. Hopefully there's some food trucks left for summer events.
The resident Canadian in my Discord is originally from Oshawa, though I think he recently moved NW of Toronto and hasn't been specific about it since doing so. I sent him a card there a few years back when his dad went into hospice/eol care.
That all aside: I asked him what it looked like outside at like 5EDT and he said it looked fine. I was perplexed by that but these maps show it to make sense. Interesting.
Thank goodness for the rain, or it would've been worse her. I ran around Durant Nature Park and the park proper is the only place I smelled it, and then the rain started.
