Too Smoky To Fly

[Iceman]

Had to get SVFR into YXS yesterday due to smoke and no flying today because of the poor vis they aren't sure of new starts or whats happening with the current area fires.

We were down to 3/8 mile vis @CYXD this afternoon from the smoke. cough cough!

It was smoky as all heck here (southeastern BC) on Tuesday, but today was surprisingly clear. Part of that was likely due to a little convective stirring-up; either that or the jet stream is moving stuff north and east of here. Friends of mine in Saskatchewan are reporting smoke there...

 

I see on CIFFC that BC has moved up a notch to level "4'. Things have been mostly quiet (and wet!) here, but I'm seeing more heli activity around over the past day or two, so perhaps there have been a few local starts.

 

Keep busy and fly safe!

Lots of smoke east of Saskatoon (150 K) in Melfort. About 2K vis.

Smoke's back; visibility here is a few miles at best today.

Edmonton's just brutal from the sounds of it. Yesterday's wind cleared out the Peace region fairly nicely. Made for a bumpy tower service flight though!
