Canadian Smoke

Can you canuks please lay off the smoke you are sending to us in Minnesota? My truck is smelling like a smoked pork taco.

 

You sure that's not smoked Canadian bacon?

 

CBS has an air quality map in this link.

Windy is a great weather / climate app

When on the Great Lakes a couple years ago we were concerned about the fires then, and were able to avoid the worst of the smoke by paying attention to the app.

 

Looks like Windy is available for Apple and Android.

My iPhone gave an air quality of 183 earlier and the local news gave a rating of 250. I realize that air quality ratings are all that standardized.

It’s down to 163 now, but the smoke is clearly visible near the ground and in the sky.

 

It even looks smoky here in southern Indiana.

 

It's a tragedy.

 

The middle of boating season too. Ugh.

 

Its hazy here too from that smoke.

 

So far this the first year we aren't covered in smoke. I got to enjoy a nice highway trip through the mountains with zero smoke.

 

Meh. Had a 410 a few years ago here in the northwest.

Were you near the Eagle Creek Fire in 2017?

Ventusky is the bomb for weather waves aurora and all else. Best weather app I have used. And cheaper than windy

Will update once I can find the pictures from the banff fire where the sky was orange and covering the city in ash.... That was a crazy and miserable time. City pretty much shut down could hardly walk a block it was so bad. We don't like it either.

 

Free Windy is good enough for me. It did fine with our hurricanes last year.

OTOH, when wife wants to know the weather, she sends me outside.

Does this one have a free version?

 

In Canada isn't it just bacon?

or like bacon made in Canada can still be Canadian bacon, even if it isn't Canadian bacon.

 

"boating season" in Canada is July and August.
Rest of the year of for 4x4 and snow mobile
In Canada regular bacon is just called bacon same as in US
What is called Canadian bacon in US is called back bacon in Canada (no one eats it)
