Gray Sky on Friday

Notice the difference in the sky on Friday?

As I got ito my car to drive to HQ on Friday morning, my first thought on this 'cloudy' day was that I could smell someone buring a fireplace. When I arrived at HQ, I noticed the smell again. I suddenly realized that the sky was as it was not due to the threat of rain, but due to the forest fires north of Willow. Throughout the day the smoke smell lingered. There are several forest fires in Alaska right now.
