Smoke

[Irishman]

I woke up this morning in Kalispell to the smell of smoke. Smoke from the fires in Canada has moved in. A little early in the year to be dealing with this already.

Smells like more than just trees burning.

Was trying to glass for bears this morning, but it was almost pointless with this smoke.

Smells like more than just trees burning.

That's what I thought last night when the storm front moved in. It smelled like a bunch of houses burning in north Helena.

We have had smoke from Canada fires last 2 days here in Iowa.

Those damn Canadians! I also thought it seemed early for the fires. Do you guys need some firefighters up there?!

We went from snowstorms in April, to wildfire smoke choking us out in May. Sweet...

It moved into the Madison Valley last night. My allergies are killing me. Damn Canadians! Get your sh!t together!

All that climate whatever...

We were playing in the yard last night and it was nice and clear. Came in to eat dinner and looked outside and it was so smokey I thought there was a house on fire a couple doors down. Pretty wild how it all blew in so thick and fast. Still lingering this AM. Hopefully a couple days of wind can blow it out.

We have been smelling the smoke here I South Dakota as well.

The entire province of Alberta is under fire restrictions already - no open fires anywhere, even campgrounds in designated fire pits. Irrigation districts have water shortages. Fires are burning. And its only May.

Before you complain about smoke, think of the people loosing property to the fire

Hazy skies here in Illinois from the smoke. News channels talking about the colorful sunsets because of it.

Looks like they diverted the Alcan....I'm headed back the end of May and first 3 days likely to be smokey.

Is there any timeline for getting the fires under control? I sure hope it doesn’t last all summer. We had a lot of moisture this winter and I was hoping for a smoke free summer. Yesterday was as smoky as I’ve seen it here.

Hey Canadians! @Sask hunter @SaskHunter @OntarioHunter

What's the deal? Why is it so dry up there? Didn't you have snow like a couple days ago? Are you more like AZ with the dry seasons being the shoulder seasons?

We had late snow but barely any rain. Everything's dry as hell.

Smoke cleared up yesterday since we had a SW wind but it's shifting back so we're expecting more smoke tomorrow.

AB is still burning and we had some evacuations up North here too. She's hella dry!!!

You got your Canada all over my Wyoming!

Was dry last fall but we had decent amount of snow this winter but it melted slow and all went into the ground. Looks like over the next week or so we have a few good chances at rain
