Smoke from the Canadian Wild Fires

 Thursday, June 15, 2023

Picture taken at school this morning. The air was much clearer by this afternoon. Last day of school by the way. Let summer begin. 

Smoke from the Canadian Wild Fires

The smoke from the Canadian fires is really bad today. You could even smell it. At least the sky isn’t orange like in New York. Can only imagine how bad it is in Canada. 


This, of course, made local news...


...but also the national news.

Scary Stuff


The following is from Paul Douglas' column in the Star Tribune yesterday.

"Mile-wide tornadoes, epic floods, drought; flowers already in bloom in New England? We'll see 50 by Tuesday; the GFS hints at 70 by mid-March. We seem to have skipped a month. Or two."

"A warmer atmosphere holds more water, more fuel for storms. 2010 was Minnesota's wettest year on record. We also saw 145 tornadoes."

"Uh oh, I fell a climate change lecture coming on. Spare us a Sunday sermon. Why remind us? Because this will be one of the three big stories of the 21st century. Because someday your grandkids may come up and ask what you knew, when, and what you did about it."

"Outbreaks of bizarre weather are a symptom - our atmosphere is running a slight fever. If you're not at all concerned, you're not paying attention."
