I doubt that you are getting ash all the way from oregon....Norcal is battling its own fires ATM.I'm in bay area NorCal and we're getting your ash all the way down here. It's small but its there. Chemphlegm said it right.
As the straight northwest wind blows... it all comes south. But you're right. We had fires going here too. I remember when Mt St Helens blew. We had ash in Los Angeles.I doubt that you are getting ash all the way from oregon....Norcal is battling its own fires ATM.
Make sure you are safe if you get any fires closer. This has been a crazy fire season out your way.Oregon currently has over 300,000 acres burned by wildfires and rapidly spreading. We have been experiencing a haze of smoke in my area for a few weeks, but no smell or ash until this morning...View attachment 4005422 View attachment 4005421
