Lightning Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 1 hour ago, TheClimateChanger said: To the best of my recollection, I never recall a "smokey season" until about 2017. The only other instance of smoke I can recall was early July 2002, which was generally all aloft. It was rare enough of an event that all of the local meteorologists and Weather Channel were making a big deal out of it, which is how I remember the general date. I mean it used to be hazy and smoggy frequently in July and August up to about 2009. That has been greatly reduced. But wildfire smoke - can't say I remember that. Well they have occurred throughout the years. Wild fires are a yearly occurrence and not anything new or recent. Not every year do the winds/patterns bring them to everyone's backyards. Location of the fires in Canada this year with the weather pattern made this one especially long / bad for the GL & NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sugar maple looks a little young to be crapping out already. Deep blue skies here as well, with some towers going up. A few isolated downpours have popped up in the heat of the day.

Toxic effects of road salt can happen with roadside trees. Sapstreak is a fungal disease they can get also. Or even a carpenter ant infection. Had to call in a 100ft red oak that near the crown was split down the middle. Could see it open and close a bit with the breeze. Massive branch fell this past weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably 10 blocks from my house. 3 consecutive summers of drought probably haven’t helped much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That June smoke was the out-of-box stuff. Very understandable why everyone is sick of it already though. The worst of the smoke here was in May. Didn't have any today.
