I had fully intended to write a post for this morning on a trail Choppy and I took last week. And then, this Severe Weather Alert came up on my weather app last night:

Worst Weather EverYes, that’s right: last night’s weather involved invading smoke from Canada. This isn’t weather; this is something out of a science fiction book.

Even worse, it’s not like there is any helpful advice here. Basically, this weather warning says, “here’s a strange weather thing that has never, ever happened before. Good luck!” As if the lack of a warning wasn’t enough, the alert also makes an affirmative statement about the lack of knowledge on the part of the meteorologists when it notes no one knows when and how this smoke will disappear.

On the plus side, I’m pretty sure my future pictures of Choppy will look good with the natural haze that will apparently be plaguing us for the near future. So there’s that.

UPDATE:

It really is smoky out there!

Here is the Wisconsin State Capitol building - usually it would be extremely clear from this distance. Obviously, not today, thanks to the smoke!
