absolutely brutal where i live ... given my heart condition and lung condition, i’m seriously thinking of renting a hotel room somewhere south where the smoke isn’t so terrible ... waiting to see if the predicted snow and rain improve the fire conditions ... supposed to be a foot of snow in the mountains monday night though wednesday morning.

here’s several excellent links of articles, GOES-16 sat videos of the plume and a map showing the smoke envelopment on the northern part of the front range:

[CincyRichieRich]

How far from Boulder is this?

[coloradan]

Snowing ashes in Longmont. Another not-at-all-apocalyptic day in 2020, no siree.

The whole front range down to the Tech Center is hazy from the smoke. Ash in the air the closer you are to the fire.

Read an article in a forestry mag last year that we can expect fires seasons like these to triple by the year 2025.

Reason? Complete lack of fire prevention by the result of freak environmentalist preventing good forestry practices.

So some will suffer because they didnt pay attention and get into their politicians faces when the issues came up. At that time-1970s-80s, fuel loads were not at the level of today, so everything was just fine.
