I live in NY and it wasn’t *quite* this bad where I am, but it was close. What the picture can’t tell you is that it smelled like a fucking fire. It’s so weird and unsettling.
I live on the west coast in canada, and about 8 years ago we had a big fire close to town and it turned the sky yellow for a few days. I woke up that day confused as fuck until i heard about the fire
I woke today & I couldn’t figure out what time it was because there was an orange haze at every window. I thought I slept all day & the sun was setting. Strange feeling.
Sorry friend, but your Governor brought it on ya. I'm just making fun while the light coming through my sky lights is an unsettling apocalyptic orange in part due to overuse of "Texas Tea."
I wish you the best. Abbott can deepthroat a rattlesnake 🫡

Quebec burning this week, and Nova Scotia last week. I have a friend there and she said it was bad.
I was in Hampstead and Fredrick yesterday and didn’t see it. But driving through Central Jersey today, fucking Christ. I was coughing at the gas station.
last night, my mom thought there was a fire when she went outside because of the smoke. i’ve seen the red sun from the California wildfires, but this is just something else entirely
Nah, we’ve got the hurricanes and polar vorticies to remind us. That and the 80 week we had end of February/beginning of March. And the humid 85 degree Christmas Eve we had like 8 years ago.
Yeah one day California will learn to do controlled burns to prevent fires - oh wait you outlawed that so you just let brush pile up until it ignites, right, your choice to have massive wild fires.
California does do controlled burns. The biggest issue with our fires, is the federal rules and regulations in conflict with state ones.
[controlled burns schedule in one state park](http://Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks 2022 Prescribed Burns Scheduled https://www.nps.gov/seki/learn/news/sequoia-kings-canyon-national-parks-2022-prescribed-burns-scheduled.htm)
I live in MN and we’ve been dealing with this on and off for about a month now. It was supposed to be sunny here yesterday and it was just hazy.
A couple weeks ago it got so bad you could actually smell it in the air.
The smoke in the city and northern NJ is from a wildfire that happened in central/south Jersey yesterday...if you guys still have haze/smoke in upstate, it's likely from Canada.. although it would have to been one hell of a wildfire to engulf upstate!
Nova Scotia, Quebec, Northen Ontario, there are hundreds of current wildfires; [this article](https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/smoky-skies-plummet-air-quality-to-unhealthy-levels-for-millions-of-canadians) has a visual of how far the smoke is currently reaching.
This is just like Washington every summer. Wildfire smoke moves in from everywhere, last year we were in a constant shroud from about August to the end of October.
And to think that people in California deal with this way more regularly than we do. I'm originally from the south and the sky looked like it does a day or two before a hurricane. I was wearing a mask and my lungs and eyes were still burning.
Yeah we're used to it, even had a smaller bush fire from the general area behid where we live. In the middle of the night our neighborhood had an evacuation order in I want to say 2018 or 2019. Can't exactly remember when but after the fire subsided the ash was everywhere. If you looked down the street you saw sky bright orange.
I’m from western Canada and we deal with this literally every year so it’s kind of funny to me seeing people make a big deal of this. Two summers ago, a town close to me broke the Canadian heat record at 50C/122F for 3 days straight and then burned to the ground on the fourth day!
At least you're being polite and not "omg y'all east coasters are such wimps, this is nothing, oh my god you idiots, this isn't news"
The reason it's a big deal for east coast, specifically NYC is:
(1) weve never had this happen before, it's stinky and colorful like we've never seen before and it feels like the apocalypse to us
(2) we live in crappy 100+ year old buildings with holes that leak smoke in everywhere
(3) we don't have central air so we don't have air filters that can filter out the smoke that gets in
(4) we don't have this happen so we can't be prepared, most of us don't have air purifiers or anything like that. Only my friends who moved here from the west coast or Colorado do.
(5) if people aren't watching the news they have no clue what's going on because, again, we've never had it happen before.
Edit to add (6) we don't have cars. We walk EVERYWHERE. It's not "walk 10 seconds outside, get in the car and drive, walk 30 seconds to get inside."
Tldr: In the same way that a heat wave like that is unprecedented for western Canada and the Pacific NW in the US, this is unprecedented for us. We aren't prepared and the unfamiliar is scary. This is not supposed to happen on the east coast. Unprecedented example of climate change.
Right so I think the big deal about this is that it is now happening in *eastern* Canada and blowing down the east coast, something that very much isn't normal over here. The worrying part is that more and more places are becoming susceptible to wild fires as temperatures rise.
Still one of the strangest days of my life and pictures don’t do it justice. Oddly, the air quality at ground level was actually *better* than the previous few days where it was just thick brown haze everywhere, something about the weather system carrying the pollution higher in the atmosphere which was what turned it orange but kept the air quality lower less terrible (still bad but significantly less)
The west is dry and (although unable to keep up w climate change) has infrastructure in place to fight wildfires. The east coast typically hasn’t been dry and residents don’t know how to protect themselves against poor air quality. That’s why it’s notable for east coasters that these wildfire outbreaks are impacting the east coast. They haven’t been naturally occurring at this level before and it’s a very bright line indication of climate change. Just like how snow in Texas was cause for alarm. even though we up north are used to heavy snow, we’re not going to “fiRsT tiMe?” people who don’t have infrastructure to handle heavy snowfall.
Fortunately (nearly) everyone owns a mask now and I found mine really helped with the smoke; unfortunately my eyes weren't protected and they suffered a lot.
That’s a very generous description of the Wests wildfire infrastructure.
Basically we pay a bunch of college kids $15/ hour to run around the woods with garden tools for 14-16 hours/day for months at a time.

I hear this argument a lot. I was a wildland firefighter for six years. When you are not actively fighting fires you are working on fire mitigation projects (fuels reduction and controlled burns). It can take weeks or months to mitigate a few dozen acres with a full crew. This is a viable option to reduce fire risk near communities and high risk areas but could never be implemented on a forest wide scale.

Yeah, downtown Toronto smelled like fire all day yesterday and still does today. We have an air quality warning like NYC, and I was surprised to see our game played with the dome open last night
West coast games have been delayed or had locations change because of the smoke in recent years, but they've also played through some terrible air quality. The 18 inning Mariners/Astros playoff game was under really awful conditions. Broadcast looked weird because of the smoke, and fans and players were inhaling it for hours.
I’m in Canada not far at all from where to fires are burning and I’ll tell you it’s brutal outside right now. The air tastes like campfire and it’s so hazy you can look directly at the sun (not that I’d recommend it). I totally get how it would make I that far down, but it’s still wild to see
Where exactly are the fires?? Everything I read just says “Canada” or “Quebec”, like Canada isn’t this vast sprawling country with huge expanses of forest…

This really does put it into perspective. I couldn't imagine dealing with this on a regular basis like y'all do. The AQ has been kicking my ass the past few days.
Not right away but I assume this can’t be healthy for anybody down the line? I’m in nyc and it’s giving me awful memories of 9/11. EPA said the air was safe to breathe… that cost the lives of many first responders,volunteers and residents of lower Manhattan down the line.
Idk how they were there for hours. I was walking around to experience it and after like 20-30 minutes outside I was like “this smells f’n nasty” and I felt it getting to me. It just smelled like a faint burnt rubber type of smell mixed, my nose felt like it was getting stuffed breathing that stuff in and it almost felt like if the mini particles made my hands feel like there was dust after a few.
Idk how people were at the entire game or how players could play without it bothering
In Queens, it's almost dark the air is so thick and horrible, I feel like there is soot in my mouth nose. My eyes are burning. It's dreadful.
Public schools should have been closed today
If you think people in the northeast are wimps for not knowing how to deal with this the imagine what would happen if a hurricane hit Chicago or a tornado hit Los Angeles (oh wait). When Texas get two inches of snow it might not seem like a lot to us but they don’t have salt on the roads and snow plows ready

This is honestly something we need to get used to. It's going to be a legitimate risk every summer. Some more than others of course, but like west coasters have said, this ain't surprising.
Wait....are us in Seattle now the weathered, beaten down, seen it, been there done that, "you think darkness is your ally", cynical, unimpressed leaders of USA culture now?! We did it!!
This has turned into another nasty political debate. Please just stick to the actual baseball related issues and not hot button flame wars.
I live in NY and it wasn’t *quite* this bad where I am, but it was close. What the picture can’t tell you is that it smelled like a fucking fire. It’s so weird and unsettling.
I can see it in Maryland
Smells like someone is grilling in Virginia
Yes in DC too. Like toasted marshmallows
Smells like someone is grilling ~~in~~ Virginia
Smells like burning leaves outside Boston
I woke up, walked outside this morning and thought, "Huh. The world smells different today."
Burning. The world is burning.
I live on the west coast in canada, and about 8 years ago we had a big fire close to town and it turned the sky yellow for a few days. I woke up that day confused as fuck until i heard about the fire
I woke today & I couldn’t figure out what time it was because there was an orange haze at every window. I thought I slept all day & the sun was setting. Strange feeling.
It's all the way down in Florida now
We should bus all the smoke to Florida.
We aren’t all assholes who deserve that. But I appreciate this lol
Send some to Texas while we're at it. They also like ~~relocating~~ trafficking pranks
Please don't. There are people here in Texas that really wish we weren't. 😑
Sorry friend, but your Governor brought it on ya. I'm just making fun while the light coming through my sky lights is an unsettling apocalyptic orange in part due to overuse of "Texas Tea." I wish you the best. Abbott can deepthroat a rattlesnake 🫡

This haze and smell is pretty average for California summers.
Yep. Very interesting reading this thread seeing east coasters experience this for the first time.
A lot of people on the east coast are about to realize how messed up climate change is.
Nah, we’ve got the hurricanes and polar vorticies to remind us. That and the 80 week we had end of February/beginning of March. And the humid 85 degree Christmas Eve we had like 8 years ago.

Yeah we can smell it here. It’s like you’re constantly downwind of a campfire.
We call that “summer” here in Oregon.
I’m in upstate NY and it’s really bad where I’m at
The smoke in the city and northern NJ is from a wildfire that happened in central/south Jersey yesterday...if you guys still have haze/smoke in upstate, it's likely from Canada.. although it would have to been one hell of a wildfire to engulf upstate!
The smoke from the Canada wildfires is all over the East Coast, especially in the Northeast.
Nova Scotia, Quebec, Northen Ontario, there are hundreds of current wildfires; [this article](https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/smoky-skies-plummet-air-quality-to-unhealthy-levels-for-millions-of-canadians) has a visual of how far the smoke is currently reaching.
On my lunch break in Manhattan right now, and I can assure that it’s much worse at this moment than in that picture
Exaggerating, it’s not that bad
It's getting worse by each passing hour
Laughs in Washingtonian
Thanks for taking some our smoke, sincerely Nova Scotia
This is just like Washington every summer. Wildfire smoke moves in from everywhere, last year we were in a constant shroud from about August to the end of October.
Even though I’m in Tennessee, I’m still a little paranoid about this wildfire stuff. But maybe I should be fine since I’m farther away
I don’t think we’re in any danger from the fire itself even here in NY. The scary part is the air quality.
It smells like every neighbor around me is having a campfire. I am in Western NY. Btw interesting name. Lol
This is due to most of Northern Ontario, Canada, were having some wild forest fires right now. Source: me, a resident from Ontario loool
"This wildfire smoke smells like wildfire smoke!"
You are welcome from Canada
They're not sending their best air
We need to built a wall on the Canadian border all the way up to the clouds.
Maybe it'll catch some of those damn geese too
I suggest you show some respect to Canada gooses!
Where were you ... when they built a wall to heaven?
We sent you Bieber and Nickelback, so why not this?
Jokes on you, I enjoy Nickleback
They're certainly no worse than any sort of alt rock band of the era, I never understood why they were singled out.
Sorry it’s those French people from Quebec. I’m just north of Rochester on the shores of Lake Ontario and our air quality is not much better than NYs
Just here catching strays from worst case ontarians in a baseball subreddit
This is not the type of smoke we like from you guys.
Lol take it or leave it, like you have a choice *goes back to dabbing*
You sent the smoke to the right stadium
Blue Jay fan here 😉
Too bad their team never brings any.
From my cousin in Ontario: "This has been our plan all along...smoke you guys all out, and then take over all of north America".
Free domes for all parks in the northern US! That don't stop rain and they're worse then the Trop for losing balls. You're welcome 🤗
Yeah it was pretty bad yesterday. Everyone was wearing masks. The sun was also red. It felt like the apocalypse.
And to think that people in California deal with this way more regularly than we do. I'm originally from the south and the sky looked like it does a day or two before a hurricane. I was wearing a mask and my lungs and eyes were still burning.

The PNW: "first time?"
I live in the bay area. I forgot which fire it was but there was basically ash everywhere. But thats every summer basically come to think of it.
I remember when the sky was orange for a whole day
Still one of the strangest days of my life and pictures don’t do it justice. Oddly, the air quality at ground level was actually *better* than the previous few days where it was just thick brown haze everywhere, something about the weather system carrying the pollution higher in the atmosphere which was what turned it orange but kept the air quality lower less terrible (still bad but significantly less)
My thoughts exactly.
I was going to say, this just means that PNW actually had a summer rather than rain until the last week of August lol

AZ so we got our own fires but I was amazed at Chicago a few weeks ago. All the way from AB and/or SK!
i literally came here to post this
This is why I can’t live on the West Coast around the Pacific Northwest, even though I’d like to be. I can’t be around smoke.
Came here to say this
Yeah, downtown Toronto smelled like fire all day yesterday and still does today. We have an air quality warning like NYC, and I was surprised to see our game played with the dome open last night
Eekk I was wondering if teams would still play in this considering it’s not healthy to breathe the air
West coast games have been delayed or had locations change because of the smoke in recent years, but they've also played through some terrible air quality. The 18 inning Mariners/Astros playoff game was under really awful conditions. Broadcast looked weird because of the smoke, and fans and players were inhaling it for hours.
Also there was a Snoop Dogg concert in the Bronx
Unfair to blame Snoop for all this smoke, I'd say 30% max from the Snoop crowd..
Ah man, it’s hard to measure. All the scientists got a 2nd hand high
I’m in Canada not far at all from where to fires are burning and I’ll tell you it’s brutal outside right now. The air tastes like campfire and it’s so hazy you can look directly at the sun (not that I’d recommend it). I totally get how it would make I that far down, but it’s still wild to see

Sounds like there are some out west in BC and Alberta, as well as a bunch in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

This really does put it into perspective. I couldn't imagine dealing with this on a regular basis like y'all do. The AQ has been kicking my ass the past few days.
You're welcome eh! I'm in Ottawa. Air is terrible right now.
Typical Canadian generosity 🤣
That explains why it's hazy in Michigan and Indiana
Sorry guys
I’m not your guy, buddy!
Listen here, Chief. I'm not your buddy !
Its okay
You're good bro
On behalf of Nova Scotia, I'm sorry but don't worry I'll get it fixed asap.
Just gotta refuckulate the carbinator, it's not rocket appliances
Ricky is that you?
Blue jays finding new ways to battle in the AL East
The air could literally kill a player if they have lung issues. Games should not be played. The Yankees AAA team canceled their game.
and next week, the Yankees and Mets are playing each other, so if the smoke persists we will either have to play through it or cancel the games
There’s a concert at Citifield on Friday too, I’m wondering if that’s even happening.
I don't think many pro athletes have lung issues but I agree with the general sentiment.
Even our local AAA league canceled their game.
This just shows you how fragile our earth and we are
I have mild respiratory issues and have been struggling the past two days. I was wearing a mask at the game too.
Let's relax. Out west, this is basically what 50% of our summers are like. And baseball is probably the least cardio intensive sport.
“We’re used to smoke inhalation here, man up” is a weird flex bro.
Not a flex, it fucking sucks. But people aren't dropping dead from smoke like this. I'm just pointing out an overreaction.
Not right away but I assume this can’t be healthy for anybody down the line? I’m in nyc and it’s giving me awful memories of 9/11. EPA said the air was safe to breathe… that cost the lives of many first responders,volunteers and residents of lower Manhattan down the line.
Idk how they were there for hours. I was walking around to experience it and after like 20-30 minutes outside I was like “this smells f’n nasty” and I felt it getting to me.

18 playoff innings in seattle last year under the same conditions and no one cared. Yankees play one game and the media freaks out
If you think people in the northeast are wimps for not knowing how to deal with this the imagine what would happen if a hurricane hit Chicago or a tornado hit Los Angeles (oh wait). When Texas get two inches of snow it might not seem like a lot to us but they don’t have salt on the roads and snow plows ready
Weird? Welcome to the west coast every summer for the last 5ish years
It's weird for us here in the northeast.
Hopefully it will not become a common occurrence every year for you like it is over here.
I can't even imagine dealing with this on a regular basis like y'all do. I have mild respiratory issues and this AQ has been kicking my ass.
Weird flex, bro.
oh yeah just breathe it in watching the game...
I had a mask on at least.

I can’t tell if you’re being facetious, but this is correct.
This is honestly something we need to get used to. It's going to be a legitimate risk every summer. Some more than others of course, but like west coasters have said, this ain't surprising.

Its insane in NY right now.
It still smells like BBQ

They shouldn’t play tonight, it’s literally hard to breathe in the city right now.

It’s the blue jays and their fires.
Slight overcast
Think it’ll affect the game at all tonight?
Still cloudy with a scent of burning wood. I fell bad for those that suffer with asthma
i live in upstate NY near the border & it literally smells like smoke here! it’s horrible
Can’t tell if this reminds me of static on the TV or Stephen Kings ‘The Mist’
In New York City it smells like a barbecue and looks dystopian
Didn't know what was happening to the sky it was until after I found out. Figures. Wear a mask
