Sitting here in north Idaho. Below is the normal view of the Selkirk's. Todays view. You can smell it and taste it at the moment. Winds (maybe rain) are supposed to move it by tomorrow eve. There are a couple fires a couple of ridges to the west. We headed over to Thompson Falls for an estate sale today and the smoke was terrible due to the Thorn Creek fire near there.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

It's bad. Does Canada have fires? Or is this from the Oregon fires?
Sure MT and the ND got it too.

It has been the same way down here in Colorado

We're getting plenty of smoke this summer too.
Lots of fires in WA and ID, not to mention MT, sending smoke generally to the east.

Pretty much the same here in Bozeman, We usually can see the Bridgers from the kitchen window but it's just that hazy nothingness in OP's second picture now.

Same here near Helena--but just corresponded with a friend in Minnesota, and it's much the same there, due to fires in southern Canada.

We had some smoke haze here in southern Iowa. A few rain sprinkles sure made outside vehicles dirty.

All the fires are east of us this year for once. We haven't had smoke and I am so thankful.

And September, October...
Other than breathing the chit I actually kinda like the smoke haze.
Keeps the sun off. And makes for some really neat sunrises.

Yeah, it's bad in N. Idaho. I'm along I-90. Today right in front of my place a huge double prop Sikorsky landed in the river with a fill tube next to the interstate. Amazing site to see it go down with traffic and such so close.

We're surrounded by a 413K acre fire to the north 100 miles or so. A 244K acre one about that far to the SW, and another one (almost contained) of 105K acres to our SE about 100 miles in the that direction. And a few smaller ones. Today I can see the plateau 10 miles away, not to mention the Butte 5 miles away. We have a remnant volcanic rock pile that sticks up from the valley floor 1/4 mile from the house that I couldn't see the other day. Some wind, clouds, and misty rain have helped. Not to mention that whopping 0.01" we got the other day I feel for you folks getting it now, but we had our smoke for a couple of weeks it seems. No matter which way the wind blow, there was a fire over there somewhere. A week ago, and that's the color of the light in the sky that day. Range of hill one can just make out is about 1/2 mile away, so this wasn't the worst day. Stay safe.

New fires seem to pop up and nobody can see them because of the smoke. Not sure, but 4 fires were started by people in the last week, they were quickly put out by locals, pretty fishy.
