I was talking to a friend back in MA last night who has his own construction company. He hauls asphalt for Palmer Paving and was doing runs out to CT near Bradley Airport and said the smoke was so bad there you could barely see the airplanes.o_O He said it's been like that for a couple days and it's really hard to breathe especially when the winds pick up. It'll rain there all weekend which should help that area.

Here's what Manhattan looks like.

Our air quality is 171. Not much going on close to me in Idaho. Three fires north close to the border. Eastern Washington is dryer than a popcorn fart and I think most of our smoke is coming from over there. The picture doesn't show the smoke around us that well. Pretty hazy. It could be worse!

I kind of feel bad since our AQI is 33 at the moment. Do smell cows though and we'll be 104 today.
Our AQ is at 39 and our high is only going to be 94. We actually haven't been in the 100's in a week (even then it was around 104) and the 10 day outlook for us is low 90's with a few high 80's which is crazy forJuly here. Nice change from the Phoenix area....Right Chris @Chris M :wink::cool:

Better be careful those cows are causing climate change. :rolleyes:

Absolutely right.
Monsoon humidity, oppressive heat, high afternoon winds, and dust.
Lots of dust.
Lots.
Sigh....

I can't believe it's the middle of July & we still have a Blizzard- Ice storm thread going.🥶🥵🫣 This would never fly on other forums. 👍
Well there was just a blizzard up in northern UT around the 4 corners area a few weeks ago. :wink:

Beside, it's the off topic section and my threads rarely stay on topic. lol

We're having a nice Monsoon storm roll in with high winds, thunder & lightning. This is what our typical Monsoon season use to be like sunny mornings and storms just about every afternoon but those disappeared several years ago. This small cloud is just hovering over us and has been dumping on us for over an hour now. Much welcomed to help fill our aquifers seeing as Lake Mead is very low.

Mel @Ranger Mel you had asked about flash flooding. The roads are definitely flooded here now as well as our side lots.

It's kind of hard to see but the side of the roads are flooded because they're pitched.

I always think of those gully washers in the dry creek beds that will kill a person.

Hope I can get wildfire smoke reparations that go back to the last couple times 🤔. Up in Canada they get free Healthcare and don't have to worry about long term health issues like we do 🤒. I'll send him another note.
