Southern Alberta was absolutely brutal Tuesday and Wednesday. Calgary looked like Hong Kong

Central Montana is bad (Unhealthy); supposed to shift to a more westerly flow and clear it out- we'll see.

Also this isn't the first time Western Canada has sent smoke our way in May and June; anyone venture a guess why their fire season is two months ahead of ours? I would have guessed theirs would be later than ours, but doesn't seem to be the case.

I’m guessing lower snow pack year, and slower green up because of how far north?

Educated guess on my part.

Here around Denver we’ve been having lots of moisture and storms that have kept out the smoke. Until this morning, we’re socked in with low clouds and smoke haze, smells like an electrical fire.

North West Wyoming here. All the views of all the mountains were gone as of yesterday.
