5th consecutive day with temps in the 90s in Chicago today, despite the smoke, showers, lake breeze, etc. It's been over four years since ORD has seen a stretch this long, and in a Nino summer, no less LOL. Not too shabby if you ask me.

I have a smoky Chelan vacation pic too! 8/18/2015.

You haven’t lived until you vacation in the lovely stuff…Oh the memories.

I know this is probably a Nez Perce name but it's probably fun to say really fast.

Today we have lots of smoke from central OR moving NE towards Spokane. Probably related to the lightning fun. Hope the flow stays onshore.
