Wildfires in Canada felt in NYC

At first it was strange but cool and now it's a bit freaky. I was wondering why the sun looked like an eclipse yesterday morning I was able to literally look directly at it at about 7 AM. Last night there was a very noticeable smell of fire, this morning I was still able to look at the sun but the smell has gone down somewhat unless I'm just used to it.

I don't recall something like this in the past. My kids school has cancelled outdoor play today due to poor air quality  :-\

Edit: I see there's already a thread for this https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=133360.0

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Toronto seems better today than it was yesterday. Doesn't smell like smoke right now.

No -they are just cancelling outdoor activities.

Guess the thought it better to have the kids exposed to asbestos vs particulate from the wildfires.

He's talking about the time when there were constant fires north of Yerushalayim, and you were always able to smell the smoke. Obviously.  8)

It’s so bad here in NY that I saw a chassidishe yid wearing a mask.
And you never ever see that. :)

This was all pre-planned by the government to deflect attention of the migrant and border crisis.
