When I opened the door this morning I was greeted with the same smell I get in the winter when all of my neighbors are burning wood in their fireplaces. The air quality was rated "Hazardous" and our town's police department posted a note on their Facebook page asking folks not to call 911 if they were just smelling smoke.
The trees in my back yard were slightly obscured. Visibility was down to between 1 and 2 miles for a while. And we have our own Red Flag warning in place, but no nearby fires ... yet.
We need a good soaking rain. I suspect Quebec does, too. (Good luck up there!)

We had a high of 74 and sometimes the sun came out, but the haze is so bad from the smoke from Canadian wild fires. With the windows open, I could smell the smoke. I should have closed the windows sooner. I didn't have any news on until about 8pm. The air quality is 216 which is very bad. I didn't go out today but opened the windows in the afternoon. Noticed my sinuses were worse than usual.
It was dark, looking out my windows, almost 2 hours before sunset.
Temp is 62 now at 1:30 AM.
