    Hi,

    Any update on the air quality in Dorrington in the last day or so?

    Thanks!

    Smokey over night and into the morning, afternoons are pretty clear.

    I drove up to Lake Alpine this morning.  At about 8AM it was pretty smokey here in Dorrington and quite a bit thicker up there.  I suspect it will clear some in the afternoon.

    fyi, there's an NOAA air quality forecast page here:
    http://airquality.weather.gov/sectors/northcalifornia.php#tabs
    Scroll over the little squares to see the map for the time and condition you want to see on the map.

    Here's a map of Calaveras County to help get you oriented on the NOAA map.

    BTV posted a few photos on their FB feed today.  A couple give a longer range view where you can see the haze/smoke.

    We will probably be dealing with smoke for a while.  The website pics are all very short distances.  Look out a little further and it's quite hazy looking.  In the early morning it looks more like fog but it's all smoke.  It's so bad over in Sonora / Columbia they have shut down schools.

    Smoke conditions change every day. Today there's no sun so far but yesterday the afternoon was nice. Actually the sun is just starting to peep through the smoke as I write this.

    Picture was taken a couple of minutes ago (about 11:40 am).

    The same or maybe a little worse.  Very smoky in the night and mornings  Skies get pretty clear in the late afternoon though you can still smell the smoke.
