Dirty Air?

Post by Jim »

Does it seem like the air over AZ is dirtier than normal? On the way back from CO, while passing through UT, I was able to see smoke in the upper atmosphere, and we have had what is almost like fog in the long distance views. It's been really hazy around here since Tuesday, and today I briefly ran and I had to stop from airway irritation. I never have that.

Anyway, is this making it's way to southern AZ, or confined more to the plateau?

I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.

Yes, when in the Chiricahuas Friday through Sunday I noticed it was particularly hazy/dirty.
