West Coast Smoke, UGH!

We are having a cloudless day today. Just a minute ago I looked up at the grey sky. I could just barely see a jet contrail thru the haze. No odor. Just weird looking.

Still gray here on the east coast, but better than yesterday.

Sky here is crystal clear, no clouds, blue as blue can be. Here's a shot for those of you missing it out west. Hope the fires go out and things clear up for you. :thumbsup:

By the way, this is actually rare for us, as we usually have permacloud from Lake Michigan.

Here in the foothills (2400')

Not sure why but the garden seems to be thriving.

I do water and have washed off the ash from the leaves... maybe the ash filtering into the soil is having this dramatic effect... the grass is the greenest I have seen it this year.

Do the fires release enough sequestered CO2 to impact plants?

Amazing Blue... almost hard to believe.

It has to do with the lyme and potassium in the ash.

It's like that on a few days in winter as well... I love ice fishing on those days.

I'll keep it small. Click on it if you want.

Moss you are a Renaissance man with broad knowledge and well read...

Global Warming and Green House Gases seem to suit a variety of plants.

A friend that is a Washington State pioneer of viticulture said if this is global warming all I have to say is my Washington State grapes love it... He was told many years ago that Washington State is not suitable for commercial wine production
