SMOKE

The wind changed direction and wildfire smoke hit here about 10pm last night. No idea which fire it's coming from. There are many in this area. It's somewhat better now at 3:30 am Sat. Still unable to open the windows and pull in the cool night air. It's just a bummer.

We've had hazy skies off and on all summer from the Canadian fires in Northern Michigan. Jon

I hope it is far away from you and the wind changes again. You've had enough of that last year, iirc.

I'm hanging out with my wife in San Antonio. In the last 2 days we have each driven through smoke from grass fires along the road. (Interstate highways)

It has been dry, even for here apparently. Forecast has some rain for next week. It was 68 degrees when I left our place to head down here. 6 hours later it was 108 in SA.

The weather person said the smoke was going to get bad and it sure did. Last night it was so bad it smelled like I was burning my brush pile nearby. I'm glad I'm caught up with the outside work so I can stay inside.

Fortunately - I turned off the fans and closed up the windows last night. This morning the smoke hangs in - an evil haze. It's fine inside the house but a short venture outside and I'm coughing.

With the cool nighttime temps and zero breeze - we are stuck with what we have. At least, we aren't getting more.

As the sun rises - things will change. Hopefully - a breeze to blow this stuff away.

We just got socked in with smoke overnight. Fires from medical lake and elk washington have turned our normally blue sky morning solid orange. Like living on mars.

Assemble a Corsi-Rosenthal filter box. an Inexpensive box fan and 4 or 5 MERV13 filters taped together. Last bad smoke we had in our 1,000+ house we fired it up and the smoke smell was gone within a minute.

I have an IQAir unit in the house, so we dont smell the smoke indoors, and thankfully have HVAC. So today i wont go outdoors much.

It's not 68 now, even at night.
