Iceman Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 Had to get SVFR into YXS yesterday due to smoke and no flying today because of the poor vis they aren't sure of new starts or whats happening with the current area fires. Quote
Hazy Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 We were down to 3/8 mile vis @CYXD this afternoon from the smoke. cough cough! Quote
Daz Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 It was smoky as all heck here (southeastern BC) on Tuesday, but today was surprisingly clear. Part of that was likely due to a little convective stirring-up; either that or the jet stream is moving stuff north and east of here. Friends of mine in Saskatchewan are reporting smoke there... I see on CIFFC that BC has moved up a notch to level "4'. Things have been mostly quiet (and wet!) here, but I'm seeing more heli activity around over the past day or two, so perhaps there have been a few local starts. Keep busy and fly safe! - Darren Quote
splitpin Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 Lots of smoke east of Saskatoon (150 K) in Melfort. About 2K vis. Quote

Daz Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 Smoke's back; visibility here is a few miles at best today. Quote
Bif Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 Edmonton's just brutal from the sounds of it. Yesterday's wind cleared out the Peace region fairly nicely. Made for a bumpy tower service flight though! Quote
