NEPA...can't believe it. It looks like a white out with all this smoke coming from the fires out west. Have not kept up with this event....can someone tell me where these fires are at in Canada? This is nuts, not only is it cloudy as hell with smoke, but you can smell it! Have never experienced this...
This smoke is unreal!

The smoke is from fires in Canada. Time to invade and get rid of this problem once and for all.
Yeah it’s sucks right now in NEPA & the fires are from Quebec and it’s expected to continue for a few days. Who had Quebecois forest fire smoke on the Apocalyptic list this year?

I need to take a nap first.

I was prepared for a new fantastic cigar and maybe digressing into a whiskey pairing thread!
Hope the air clears for you all in NEPA soon.
You were thinking it.....don't lie....
I’m a volunteer FF in Monroe County and multiple departments in the county are getting dispatched for “smoke investigations”, essentially a neighbor calling 911 for smoke in the area. It’s crazy!
Could not see across Seneca Lake this afternoon- and the lake isn't wide, at all.
We have haze in SW Ohio from the Canadian fires but nothing like what you are experiencing.
Suck it up Eastern PA guys. Day time picture of Pittsburgh in the 1940's.
Well NY sucks and Ohio blows, so you see the problem! 
afternoon thunderstorm carried it into Lebanon county this evening as well. I have a view of the VA and it looked like out of a disaster movie. Smells is bad too.
Alerts here in central PA for poor to unhealthy air quality today and tomorrow.
The color of the sun and sky yesterday evening gave the impression of an End of Days type of apocalypse.
Balto. has been code red for 2 days and they are saying it could move to purple today.
My fiancée and I were just talking about this a few minutes ago. We are in Harrisburg. It’s nuts. It smells like a fire outside. I can’t imagine how bad it is in Canada if it’s this bad in Pennsylvania. We are in a code orange air quality index right now.
Man, HarrisburgDave coming in HOT this morning!
I smell nothing. Sitting in State College with office window open. Supposed to get worse this afternoon/evening I am hearing. With as dry as it has been, I only hope more fires don't pop up. Not used to my lawn going dormant so early in the summer.
Nahhh, par for the course for him. Hate Canada....damn nice people.....grrr. LOL
I'm not too fond of the French Canadians but Calgary, Canmore and Banf are awesome. And from what I gathered, talking to the residents of Canmore, they weren't too crazy about the French Canadians either. Said they were arrogant and rude.
Yeah, the air is reeking here in DMV.Balto. has been code red for 2 days and they are saying it could move to purple today.
True enough....spent some time in Toronto and some weren't fond of folks in Quebec, but overall it was like living in a movie in terms of politeness and people being decent to each other. We also get a ton of snowbirds down here and they're great too....but they book up all the campgrounds every winter. My biggest beef with them.I'm not too fond of the French Canadians but Calgary, Canmore and Banf are awesome.

Meanwhile back in State College, I can now smell smoke and my view of Mt Nittany and the Tussey Ridge have disappeared.
