Would probably help if the orioles cancelled first. Wanted to ask you or other Mets if the CSL (swim league) should consider moving divisionals, our league wide qualifying meet for all stars, to Sunday. Warmups start 6am and meet starts 8am, ends by 12pm. @NorthArlington101 if you have any thoughts lmk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately (or fortunately) I need to work my real job Saturday morning so I’ll be spared the smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Does a N95 even help with smoke? I've definitely exhaled smoke into a N95 and it came right out. I've got to wear a mask anyway because of the job im doing. Just curious. Remember the virus debit in 2020? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Found a link with visible band optical depth. UMBC at ~2.5 and the Maryland science center at ~3. Those are pretty ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully any additional pulses won't equal this morning's mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any kind of beard or even stubble the efficiency goes way, way down for pm 2.5.
