• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Smoke from the Canadian Wildfires reaching Wisconsin - anyone/anywhere else in the lower 48?

Here in Wisconsin, the smoke is in the air from the current fires to our NorthWest. Thousands of miles from the source, it's noticeable with an obvious scent outdoors and hazy skies above.

It's hazy today in West Central Minnesota, and it's supposed to be worse tomorrow!

It usually travels down the Appalachians to here but we are currently under a tornado watch and have storms so no view of it here at the moment.
 
In checking the weather yesterday, the forecast for today called for hazy smoke after 4PM. I figured something must be burning. Heard about the Canadian wildfires on the early news this morning. There was definately something causing the sun and sky to look strange on the way home on the Spyder here in Central IL!
 
We had an upper level haze, but it's supposed to be moving east. Made for a pretty sunset last night in the Black Hills
 
We tend to make our own here in the Arid-Zone-A desert. We've had a couple pretty big ones already this season. With all the pollen and smoke in the air, my eyes and nose are constantly running.
 
Heard smoke stream extends far south now. It's hung over Wisconsin and at times smells like a campfire is near. Rode in this in Ontario several years ago. I came home smelling like a big sausage!

l live in Wisconsin about 50 miles north of Illinois. l noticed the hazy skies today also. l thought l was imagining it at first, when l was riding, but there's definitely a lot of smoke in the air!
 
Well yesterday's sunshine was blocked by the smoke from the forest fires. Simply amazing how far the smoke can travel. Never did find out what started the fires.
