We are in upstate NY and the wildfires are affecting us cruelly. The sky is smokey and you can't breathe outside. Warnings to keep inside.

Yes, here in NYC we have the smoke alert. Between that, the 96 degrees, and the Legionnaires' Disease outbreak we are having a swell time of it.

I'm in the NY Mid-Hudson Valley. Air Quality alerts through tomorrow. It's not comfortable, weird haze in the sky, and you can actually smell it. Hoping for a little rain, may help. Staying inside as much as I can.

Wondering if anyone in the Midwest or Northeast is experiencing the smoke from the Canadian wild fires? Coupled with the heat this week, it's going to be tough to be outside.

Yes! We live 1 mile south of Lake Ontario in NY and this morning the sky was an errie yellow and the air smelled of smoke. Still does and tomorrow the forcast is worse...Had to keep our lights on all day cause it is so dark. I can't imagine the poor folks who live so close to the fires. Awful.

We are on Vacation on MN side of Lake Superior and we cannot be outside except to go to the car and back.

So we are watching England vs. Argentina, I think I'm rooting for Argentina but I'm ok if Englands wins too, lol.

@redhead handbag queen. It's a shame your vacation is being ruined and you can't get outside. I imagine you have lots of company with others in the same situation around the country.

The Canadian wildfires are affecting us here in Western New York today.

It was so bad the sun never got through.

Only a matter of time when it starts creeping in where I live--Wa state--have fires in eastern WA then up north from Canada too. Get some from the south from Oregon too.

100% Rhode Island and the Boston-metro area have had this orange haze for two days now, but the smoke is really picking up today.

Wisconsin has air quality alerts. My DH just checked and ours is rated 248. I believe a number of 300 is considered hazardous and all outdoor activity should be suspended. It will be a few days before things get better.
