If you're like me and woke up Monday morning thinking your neighbors house looked a little fuzzy, it wasn't because you drank too much the night before!

According to Accu Weather there are a large number of fires burning all over the western U.S.  including Montana, Wyoming & California, which is causing the horrible haze you can see all over Western Slope of Colorado!

Satellite pictures taken this morning show some of the smoke causing  the hazy looking areas from northern California to Wyoming.

The NY Dept of Health reminds people that exposure to smoke from fires can cause health risks. And advise people to limit physical exertion. The also say fetuses, infants, young children, the elderly and people suffering from cardiovascular or respiratory conditions, may be more vulnerable to the health effects of smoke exposure.

The bright side? It does make for some amazing sunsets & sunrises!
