1. A friend of mine

Who lives in Queens says it is terrible.

2. You know where I live, in Northeastern New York, and I noticed a definite haze here today

And I was told it was worse in Albany - about an hour south.

3. Stay inside Rhiannon

Only slight trace here in Biglerville pa so not bad at all.

4. I was running the roads today, but not tomorrow

And I had to be in Albany last week, glad it's not this week. But I looked it up and the air quality alert is still in effect for points south, Saratoga and Albany, but not here (north of Glens Falls) and points north (Lake George). Seems odd if the problem is coming from Canada, since we're a lot closer, but then it's supposed to rain here, off and on, for the rest of the week so that may be the reason.

My daughters office window yesterday. She’s in SoHo.

6. Yikes! Thanks for sharing! I hope that she can stay indoors!

And they've also recommended going back to wearing masks. There was a noticeable haze when I was out yesterday (Northeastern NY), but nothing like that. Hope she stays safe...
