If you look carefully, you can see our buttermilk skies. The skies match the color of the trunks on the aspen trees. That's pretty ugly. The reason is simple...fires. There are hundreds of fires in the west. CA has 350 named fires, WY has over 40, and the states in between are burning too.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) for this small corner of WY is 117, which is unhealthy for folks with asthma or COPD or other breathing problems. As you can see, the AQI can get much higher. When we survived the Camp Fire in Northern California in 2018 the AQI was off the scale at over 400. We need a change in the weather pattern to quell the fires and clean the air. The weather guessers are saying we might have that change tomorrow. I hope they are correct.
On another note, look carefully at the first picture. Do you see a tinge of yellow? The trees are on the verge of change. The asters predicted the first signs of fall on August 28...it's only the 17th...we might have an early winter?!
