It's getting warm

As someone might say, that's a small sample size of one 14 acre lake.

Doesn't the ocean serve as a thermal battery of sorts? Regulating extreme temperature swings more than areas without?

Yes. And sea water temperatures have risen more than the air temperature that we measure. That's why the coral reefs are in such poor shape.
So a lot of the global warming is going under the radar thus far.

We have been warming since the last ice age. Evidence, ice is melting.

The smoke is insulating the heat nicely today.

Warmest day of the year.....yet still only high 20's.

Been a hazy few days up here in Jasper. Blood red sun yesterday evening and again this morning due to smoke drifting down from the NWT. There a huge village of ATCOs in town, kids playing between them and bikes everywhere. Half the town is normal and the rest is cranes and concrete structures. Looks like a long way to go yet.

You say there's smoke back home in Van area? I saw something about a fire started in Manning.

Woke up to rain in Kelowna today.

Didn’t last long.

The smoke is really socked in now.

Same in Nakusp this evening. Thankfully thunderstorms approaching... will see what tomorrow brings.

Really smoky down here in Olds, Alberta.

Heavy smoke in the Cariboo, lots of fires upwind to the southwest. Town run yesterday and the lights in all the stores were flickering. BC Hydro says the transmission lines are being affected by the Kelly Lake fire west of Clinton. Ran into a friend who'd just driven from the coast, said horrendous visibility coming through Merritt.

At least I don't live in Boston Bar

Just got back last night from Edmonton where it is thick as fuck and socked in.

Arrived home to decent rains and winds.

Cleared everything up real nice...
