The fires in Idaho are pretty small in comparison to the ones in those other states. The prevailing winds across the northern US are west-to-east. The smoke we’re choking on isn’t from here. Long-range forecast shows essentially no change for at least 5 days, maybe more. Last rain here was June 2nd so its dusty too.
My wife has asthma and she is having some breathing problems. I don’t have asthma but if I exert myself outside in the smoke I wheeze a little. Its really bad. Visibility is only about 1/2 mile.
Yeah. Bad today up near Sandpoint. The wind is going to shift tonight but there really aren’t many points on the compass where there aren’t out of state fires at the moment. I think I could smoke salmon by leaving them out on the deck.
