Why West Coast Fires Are Producing Smoke & Bad Air On The East Coast

Here’s the good news. Those areas that are burning won’t burn anymore for quite a while.

This crap is coming back into middle America and my state from the east now.

Thanks a lot west coast Libtards for not maintaining your forest lands.

Same thing year after year as long as libtards are in charge.

"Now, I'm no meteorologist or weather expert, but I would guess that it's because of the wind? Just a wild guess. "

The Japanese used knowledge of those winds to fire bomb these very forests during WW2. The Japanese were familiar with the jet streams but, not the Americans.The Discovery Of The Jet Stream

“...in New England that the Moon was not its usual white or silvery color, but was instead a beautiful shade of gold.”

Michigan, too.

West coast idiocy affects us all.

[crz]

Yup, now if they would only burn the hell out of the rest of it.

Let it burn, all of it.

Dont want to manage it through good logging practices? Then let it burn.

GeoColor is a multispectral product composed of True Color (using a simulated green component) during the daytime, and an Infrared product that uses bands 7 and 13 at night. During the day, the imagery looks approximately as it would appear when viewed with human eyes from space. At night, the blue colors represent liquid water clouds such as fog and stratus, while gray to white indicate higher ice clouds, and the city lights come from a static database that was derived from the VIIRS Day Night Band.

Sounds like the Northeast states need to sue Cali

Little bit of rain, thunder and lightning this morning in Spokane Valley, WA. It blew through Coeur d’Alene, ID a little bit later. Overcast, but nice cool morning — a big respite from the non-stop 90s the past month!

1. The direction of the earth’s rotation.

2. The air currents known as the “jet stream”.

It is no mystery.

[Mariner]

It’s been sunny, dry and clear as a bell here in the Big Valley.

Last year it was 1/4 mile visibility and AQI was 300-500.

[alternatives?]

If we could rotate the earth faster for a day we could send it to China.

Unfortunately the Japanese released the fire bombs during the Winter, when there is rain and snow in the PNW.

The dust from the plains in the “dust bowl” in the 30s reached all the way to NYC with reduced sunlight

I can barely see Pearis Mountain. I’m glad I’m not hiking the Appalachian Trail in that

People in Duluth think the smoke is from fires in Canada

For most Duluthians, that is a good guess. I've been on several fishing trips to Canada where I've have been in the direct down stream air flow of a forest fire. I couldn't really smell the fire, but the skies were extremely hazy and the eyes watered. The fires were about 500 miles away.

[McGruff]

I noticed some haze affecting the moon last night. Turned it red.

[Wuli]

The dust from China’s western deserts combines with chemical pollution (mostly coal burning power plants) fouling Beijing’s air constantly. If Beijing was in the west of China and it’s deserts in the east, Beijing’s air would be only partially as bad as it often is. Again - the earth’s rotation determines a lot about airflows in the atmosphere. Its not mysterious.

The Philly metro area is bathed in a hazy heat.

[markman46]

OH i have too, some fire in Alberta or far reaches of northern Ont.

[Perseverando]

I turned on the furnace today. Wife was cold. Wife not happy, no one is happy.

Just as I thought: All this smoke blocking out the heat from the sun is going to cause massive global freezing. We're all going to die! /sarc
