Smoke from Canada ruining my range day. :(

[ctshooter]

Wednesday afternoons are the one day the local public range is open during the week. Wanted to get out for some shooting and to test some changes. But, man the smoke in the Northeast blowing down from the Canadian forrest fires is really thick and bad smelling today here in CT. I don't think I've ever experienced anything like this in my lifetime and it's crimping my style, lol. My folks have said it's really bad down in NYC today as well. Anyone else dealing with this?

Newsmax showed some area pictures of the haze . Looks pretty thick in some Maybe hang some meat . Smoked turkey is one of my favs...

Id hate to have to breath that all day or the amount of days for it to clear.. cough, cough..

We usually get smoke from Canada but we're on opposite side of the country and none here. We had it from 2 days about 3-4 weeks ago though. Definitely not fun. Nothing beats in SoCal many years ago where the sky was dark for a week and they cancelled all sports and outdoor things at school. We seem to get it usually later in summer. Last year we didn't have anything though so we'll see. Hope they get the fires out soon though

Man , I’m a little closer to it. Yesterday was nasty. Today so so and they say tomorrow will be the worst.
We’ve had more forest fires this year than all of last year. Scary Crow

It’s been real bad here in the Hudson Valley. I’ve been putting on an M95 mask every time I go outside to smoke a cigarette.

Bad enough illegals are bussed up here in NY. Now Canada is settling in here too. Seriously, I hope and pray for the safety and property of my northern neighbors. The smoke here is so dense everything has an ominous orange glow and you can't see the sun.

 

[rsfrid]

Yep. Not too hazy here, but "smoke gets in my eyes"! Michigan isn't as bad as further east, but still reminds me of my Oregon days.

I didn’t realize just what was going on till i looked at this on my weather app - the colors are air quality the blue dot is me

 

[Simplemann]

I just saw this on the national news, had no idea this was an issue

 

[jemkewl]

Same here - no shooting out back. Been able to look directly at the sun these passed 2 days due to the smoggy haze. It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. So I worked on the trigger instead...

@ctshooter, same here, my backyard plinking sessions are done. Thankfully it will pass, I read that this is the normal “air quality” in places like Delhi in India, Cairo, Qatar, etc. We are blessed in this country with clean air and water…

I hope everyone up there gets through this with no serious health issues. It’s been a few years but one spring/summer there were a lot of fires in Florida bad enough that we were getting smoke in Alabama. Made for some pretty sunsets but bad air.

John Kerry days ee will need to shut down all power plants and not drive cats for a year or 2 to off set the carbon from the fire or its doom and gloom. Sea water will rise and flood coastal areas. You know like they cried that wolf 30 years ago and funny im still high and dry .. go figure. Ua, that global warming and climate change bumch is fixing to have a field day to screw the public with there nonsense scare tactics.

Then i guess making your kitchen gas stove illegal taks more priority.. then cows farting next.
