Barbeque smell?About 66F here in Eugene right now, the air is completely still, and it's snowing ash from all the wildfires. Normally this would be the sun and I would never try to take a picture of it (much less look directly into it), but... right now the sky has an orangey hue, it's rather eerie. Unfortunately there is no rain in the forecast in the near future.

Nah, more like a smokey wood stove where the wood is no good. But funny you should mention, I did have a backyard barbecue yesterday, it was just in time before all this had started. I'm glad to have gotten that out of the way because now there is probably a statewide burning ban.Barbeque smell?
Yes, it's really bad here in Oregon as well, the wildfires are just raging.This is an article about the West coast fires:

California's dark, orange sky is the most unnerving sight I've ever woken up to | Rebecca Solnit
What is happening now is astonishingly worse than any previous fire season. We are in a new kind of erawww.theguardian.com
I was in S-F and elsewhere in California for the first time in my life last December, and it's a bit surreal to see the images and read the statistics.
Yeah sorry about that, we didn't mean to share.We don't have as many fires as the CA, OR, WA, but all of the smoke has settled into this old lake bed...yuk! (Boise)
The orange man says that isn't true...science doesn't know.34 °C yesterday (51 °N!). It has never (in recorded history) been this warm this late in the year here. It's getting scary. Every year we are breaking records.

Over a week later the air is still very bad here in Eugene, and once again the store shelves are empty. I'm presuming it's because the grocery store truckers are having a hard time getting through because of all the wildfire road closures, I'm not blaming them at all.
They're saying we might get some rain here come Friday, that would no doubt be a blessing for everyone involved.
Wheee, it finally rained here last night and it's raining again this morning. We even got some thunderstorms, they're pretty rare in my area. The air is so much better now, it's so nice to finally be able to open a window.I hope you get some rain. Was talking to a social media friend who lives in the LA area and he said either Thursday or Friday northern California is supposed to get some rain. You all really need some. I'd love to send you some of the rain we've had as we don't need more right now.

How is the latest hurricane treating you guys?
Yes, hopefully the rain will help the firefighters some. One of the areas that had been obliterated by the fire was a recreational area located on the McKenzie river, I used to drive by it when going fishing. It's sad to think it's no longer there.Glad you got some rain. Hope it helps the firefighters get those fires under control.
The remnants of Sally went through yesterday and today. Just rain, no wind, although some heavy rain. Wish we could have sent this one your way instead though.

Glad Sally didn't cause you further damage, we definitely could have used your rain. We need some kind of a machine for that.
My bro is a former firefighter with the Air Force, he was putting out those oil fires in Kuwait during Desert Storm. No matter your politics... you don't sleep a wink while your dear ones are out there doing their firefighting job, you just don't.Having seen a little of what the men and women fighting these fires are going through..what they are up against..hero worship deserved by all
