Do you guys see the smoke? Makes me think all of Canada is on fire for there to be so much smoke here. It blocks a lot of light from the sun.
OT: Haze from the fires

Yea for sure! Here in Pway it was moderate until a couple hours ago then it increased significantly. I don’t ever remember it that heavy from a fire pretty far away.
"The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection in coordination with the National Weather Service issued an Air Quality Alert for the entire state," said Michael Lee, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service at Mount Holly.
That's because smoke from separate wildfires in Canada is drifting into the region. The conditions may have an impact on air quality today that could make breathing difficult for people with chronic health conditions.
“The smoke and haze are starting to reach the ground causing smoky smelling air across the state," Lee said.
Haven't noticed it yet here in So Monmouth but perhaps I'm just getting used to it from the wildfire to the South.
It's quite hazy up here in Massachusetts too. Like you, it really got worse in the last hour or two.
Odd smell. It has almost a rubber smell. Do they have rubber trees in Canada?
It is so smoky in Highland Park, it looks and smells like there’s a forest fire a block away.
I couldn't believe how much worse it has gotten here in Bergen County until I just walked the recyclables to the curb. It got much worse very quickly. And definitely smells.
Eerie.
Smoke smell very strong in Hamilton. My wife said it smells like I got my Islay Scotch bottles open x 100. I read there are fires in Jackson going
Noticed that as well, said to my wife, "Canadian trees must smell like sh*t when burned." It smells more like an industrial fire than forest fire.
For the weather nuts out there my older brother reminded me of Nov 87 wildfires from West Virginia. He said it was worse than this. I don't remember...
I'm fixin' to go light up a fire in the ol' Solo. I want to see if I can get the neighborhood visibility to zero.
Just went for a jog. Pretty gross out there. Found a dead bird outside my garage when I came home. Coincidence ?
awww.. lost its way in the haze? or a sign that the air is dangerous? Chinese spies light those fires? CoVid wasn't enough?
This has been coming for a long time. Thank you fossil fuel companies & other corporate polluters & your Republic deniers & enablers.
wait wut
The smoke is from forest fires in Canada. Fires happen all the time. They've been happening since there have been forests. I wouldn't jump in the linkage train, just yet.
Inhaled too much smoke ?
News flash..... Canada since recorded history has experienced on average over 6,000 forest fires a year. How you came to your conclusion is simply mindboggling. There's also a forest fire in Jackson as we speak, should we chalk that up to your misguided agenda as well?

Crazy smoky up in the northwest corner of NC. Tomorrow is expected to be even worse in terms of air quality. Hoping some rain that forecasted might knock it down some.
Probably dragging the North Jersey smell down here with it. ; )
I unIgnored that idiot to read his post. Back on Ignore. LOLOL
No offense and I feel your pain, but this is what we live with out west almost every year.
Keep your heads in the sand deniers. At least you'll avoid the smoke.
News flash--the GD planet is burning & drying up for the reasons I posted. Have a good night all.

It was explained to you in another thread that on average 140,000 hectares in Canada burn in May… they’re at 2.7 million or roughly 20x the norm.
Yes, changing precipitation patterns are associated with climate change so an early June fire may have a causal link with climate change.
Jersey folks are just a little more dramatic than most.
Your logic is so faulty here
