Canadian wildfires

Wildfires burning in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada are wreaking havoc with the air quality here in Upstate New York. A storm is sending the haze and smoke down in this direction, and much farther south and east.

The photo was from 2:15 yesterday afternoon in our backyard. Orange skies are never a good sign. Even the UPS driver stood there and stared for awhile, saying "that's not good."

According to Siri, the air quality yesterday when I took this photo was 168. I thought today the skies looked better, gray not orange, but today you can actually smell the smoke/fire.

The air quality today is 218, and it looks like that big dark purple blob is headed our way.

Staying indoors as much as possible.

Good day for making goat cheddar. Inside. Windows closed.
