Another summer of somke has started, fire warnings and open fire ban's in the province. Smoke so thick I know the sun is out, I just can't see well enough to point it out.

So soon?  How did it get so dry so fast?  Forgive my ignorance.  The Pacific Ocean sets weather here, and it does not get dry so fast.  Leaves on trees have only reached full size in the last week or so.

Little snow this last winter, only 1.75- 2 inches of rain so far this year and it is mid May. There were fires burning last year that did not get put out by the winter. The smoke here right now is from fires up in FT Mac and GP.
