- lotsofpulp 3y agoWas there smoke last year (2022)? I don’t recall any. I remember 2020 being bad, and a few days in 2021, but nothing in 2022.

- mhink 3y agoGod, 2020 was absolutely horrendous for smoke. Also, it was definitely noticeably smoky during the "heat dome" in 2021, which just made the whole situation that much worse.
