Minnesota wildfire

Anyone else with the haziness and smokey smell as the wind blows the smoke from Minnesota towards
Southeast WI?

I should take a pic of the haziness..............................

It's hazy down here as well. Wind coming out of the NW. I didn't notice til DH mentioned it since I was playing with my Bernzomatic today.

heck, I didn't know till my son calls and asked me if I knew what the haziness was about. I asked him what haze? Smoke, you can smell smoke? GET OFF the computer Mom and go outside and you'll see. Then he explained where it was coming from. Then I had to go on Fox6 news to read more. lol

Listening to WGN news - did they say 60,000 acres or 6000?

I'm not quite sure myself really....................

60,000

ppl can see it in Chicago - they had to close the retractable roof in the stadium because of it!

omg, any where near out?

Im not sure.
Here is the latest from local news.

Isnt that crazy?!

Just after noon yesterday I was outside and there was an unusual haze. Did not smell like smoke but looked like it. Lasted over an hour.
