Trying to get more information whether this is a controlled burn or not. Stay tuned. More info as I get it.
UPDATE: Ok. Evidently this is smoke from that huge fire burning down by Santa Barbara being carried through high level winds up the Sierra. A high pressure system is keeping the smoke from dissipating in atmosphere.
If you’re sensitive to smoke you probably don’t want to be outside in this. I guess this explains my headache and why my eyes are burning.
