Yesterday it was so dim that there weren't even any optical effects. 1 hour ago, CheeselandSkies said: Smoke rain now. Will be interesting to see how my Corolla which is parked outside looks after this. Time to break out the PH test kit. There is a pocket to my east of less smokey air as Barrie ON was at 180 last check, unfortunately its not moving my way it is only sagging south to Oshawa. I'm still around 380 but I'm on Day2 of this shit and trust me its far worse than you think it is sustained for this long. I'm a healthy adult who has tried to remain indoors (I briefly went out) and I'm feeling ill effects I know are from this. You almost want to buy a good air purifier and stow away in the basement somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Smoke got worse. AQI now in the 200's here. I can't imagine how much worse it is to the north and west. Woof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Dews have dropped into the 50s over northeastern IL in the midst of that smoke. Still mid 70s here out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted 10 hours ago Author Share Posted 10 hours ago It’s nearly pointless to post this given the compression, but… A view from ORD just before sunset this evening.Edit: Amazingly, the compression isn’t horrid. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
