Hey Canada--Oklahoma has your climate! We were supposed to be hot and dry by the end of April but it's chilly and wet down here! Will be happy to trade you before our wheat crops die of mold!

Woke up to #smoke. It has begun.
The town of Fort Nelson in NE British Columbia is being evacuated. A "zombie fire" smouldering overwinter flared up rapidly yesterday. Everywhere in western Canada is very dry due to drought.
The smoke is heavy even here in Alberta.
