I remember that guy.

He points out records broken.

Leftists and hysterics think anything that happens is worst ever, never happened before. Proves they must take away our cars and gas stoves and anything else they think of.

That’s a good one. I don’t remember seeing or hearing that,
but I probably glossed right over it.

In eastern Massachusetts we had a bad air alert this morning.

So where do you claim the smoke is coming from? Not Nova Scotia or Quebec?

Wait. Are you claiming Wednesdays smoke map was incorrect?

Anyway, from Wednesday's smoke map, the smoke looks like it crossed the border near Watertown and headed south. East of there, the smoke map shows no smoke for the three cities that you mentioned. Add to that, those three cities reported no smoke. Add to that, the Wednesday weather map showed a low pressure system over Eastern Canada. Such a setup, if you know anything about weather systems supports an air flow that circles counter clockwise around that low pressure system. The smoke map makes sense.

Again, are you claiming Wednesdays smoke map was incorrect?

Every once in a while there will be a day like that.

If you are referring to the Mao you posted, it was a map of “near surface smoke” not a map of plume direction.

It is consistent with what I am saying.

Again, where do you say the snake is coming from.

Alberta? Quebec? Nova Scotia?

Thanks.

One notices that areas most smoky are not those most proximate to the fires.

Local atmospheric conditions determine the smokiness more than the fires themselves.

Well both. The fires and the atmospheric conditions. Apparently the smoke was high up in the column over the upper midwest. Then some atmospheric condition along the east coast caused it to sink back down the column.

And you can picture where that low pressure system sits from that second map. That's why the smoke was circling around and not thru those New England cities.

Regards.

Yeah.

That’s why I posted this.

It happened before in 1966 and 1953 and 1963.

It may have been more industrial pollution that served as the haze then.

We need to counter the hysteria and especially the narrative that this means we can’t use gas or gasoline.

I live in an area that isn’t quite as bad as downtown.

I haven’t seen those types of days in a long time, but I’m
sure others can see them from LA south.

One I’m thinking about is 15 years ago in east Pasadena.

I think when it happens it’s not pure smog like before. It’s foggy and smoggy.

True. We’ve had a lot of haze this year too.
