Canadian Wildfire Smoke Hanging Out in New Jersey

Numerous wildfires in Canada, as well as a handful in New Jersey are greatly affecting the air quality here in New Jersey and surrounding areas (including Ohio). The smoke started to come in yesterday and it's getting worse by the hour today.

I went outside with Cassie for a few minutes during our lunch hour and snapped a few photos. The air is very hazy and the smell of wood burning is very strong. Don't want to be out in it for too long. We may be stuck with this for a couple days, if we don't get any rain to clear it up.

Below are some photos and a couple article links, if you want to read more about it. In the last photo, the small bright orange dot is actually the sun. It's a bit eerie looking, almost like we are having an eclipse.
