There were high winds on Labor Day, and in the space of about an hour the valley filled with smoke from the nearby fires in the mountains. We woke up Tuesday morning to orange light, ash everywhere, and hazardous air quality. It was eerie.
We had weird lighting because of the smoke. Sometimes it was orange, sometimes it was yellow, sometimes just grey.
The air filter on our air purifier quickly got dirty, but when Joshua went to buy a replacement they were sold out of almost all the air filters. He found this AC filter and rigged it up with our box fan, then he ordered a replacement filter online.
Sometimes the smoke was low enough that it looked like fog. The sudden lack of sun and being unable to go outside has been hard on all of us.
After a week without sunshine, we were pretty excited to get a little afternoon sun today, even though the air quality is still hazardous.
