Canadian wildfires continue to spew thick smoke that blankets the Finger Lakes.
Some of that smoke has made it down to the surface, obscuring our view, reducing air quality, changing the color of the sun, and is strong enough to smell.
It’s going to be worse today.
If you have respiratory conditions, as well as children and the elderly should do what you can to limit or eliminate time spent outdoors as the air quality remains at unhealthy levels.

This isn’t a solar eclipse. ???? The smoke particles from #wildfires throughout Canada allow sunlight's longer wavelength colors like red and orange to get through while blocking the shorter wavelengths of yellow, blue and green. pic.twitter.com/cFm2msOg8H
