I am south of the Piute Mountain fires, right now watching the smoke coming up over the mountains. You can occasionally smell the smoke.

Since we are south of the other fires, we are getting all the smoke here in our mountain valley. The winds have changed from the nw to the se, and has blown a lot of the smoke away today.

Today is hot and windy...

 

Explain to me how can the winds be blowing out of the se, yet the smoke from the Piute fire seems to be coming closer?

Hey all you californians...just wanted to create a survey on the smoke situation within our state.
 
Currently smokey in Auburn again, although looks like it might be a little thinner layer then yesterday.
 
The 4th of July was perfect though!  80s, a light breeze, blue sky and I could see all the way to the sierras for the first time. Then, around 3am the next morning (I was up watching the Jaws movie marathon!) it smelled smokey again.
 
So, how is it in all the other areas?  Placerville? Cool? Bay Area? and south??
 
How about to the west?
 
Also, since not good to have horses out exercising in this stuff I am wondering what others are doing themselves besides working of course...
 
Thought a new topic was in order. Don't know if we've even had this one before.
 
cheers everybody,
