We talked to someone last night, I can’t remember who or where they are, but they were seeing signs of the smoke. With solid details like that, it MUST be a serious problem.

UConn James Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) It literally smelled like burning plastic and oil on Saturday morning here in NE CT, it faced by the afternoon. I had heard about smoke from the fires but wasn’t expecting it to smell that. When it happened a couple of years ago from more Western Canada it was like a straight campfire smell. This one now is just putrid and there is actual semi-thick smoke in the air. Map on teevee news showed WNY getting the worst of it (purple shades) today and tomorrow. Thankful to have a very good BlueAir air purifier for the house with HEPA & charcoal filters. I can cook fish in the kitchen and the smell is completely gone in 30-40 minutes, and it’s really helped with pollen allergies this spring.

Just Jack Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Someone on my local FB page was asking where the fire was since they could smell and see smoke. 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guffalo Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 We are in Long Island and the sky is definitely a few different shades and the smell is pretty bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuvian Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 here in Ottawa its day 3 of a darkened sun apocalypse. Everyone is staying indoors. What I don't understand is that two weeks ago half the countryside was under a flood warning. I golfed on May 17 and it snowed. How things things can get dry enough for fires so quick I'll never know 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I just stared at the sun for 5 minutes, the color behind all that smoke was eerie. I tried taking pictures of it with my phone but it didn't pick anything up. I originally thought the smoke was from western Canada, now I see that it looks like Quebec is completely ablaze with a lot of fires in Ontario as well, including just north of Lake Ontario. Until the weather pattern changes it's going to stay the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
