@wall7325 : Those results suck too.

Getting worse.

We shut the house up and turned on air filters.

@Mahkno : The situation is bad.

Normally I see PM2.5 and VOC levels drop in the morning, not today. Time to get out the owner's manual and see where this sensor tops out.

Peoria Park District has closed the zoo, all pools and canceled all outdoor activities for the rest of the day.

Today's forecast.

I've always been fond of Canadians. They're wonderful people, but they're starting to **** me off.

Lots of haze along I 474 from Creve Coeur to almost Knoxville exit along Rt 6 today. Instead of outdoor stuff with grandsons, took them to Wheels O'Time museum.

Been looking outt he window the last 45 minutes or so. Is that fog or smoke?

It was fog this time. Had some in MH, but pretty much gone when we all hit the highway back to Springfield.

Looks like the smoke is making a comeback. 🤨
