NAW Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 Smells like in Barrie.. Well, more the usual..
Spiel Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 I'm not entirely sure as a Hamilton resident Nick that I'd even notice.
NAW Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Posted September 13, 2011 I herd this was the culprit. But I find that hard to believe.. http://www.northlandsnewscenter.com/enews/breaking/Pagami-Fire-Grows-To--129728278.html
Rizzo Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 haven't been outside today with the sniffer, but doesn't surprise me. often get the whiff of farmers field here in downtown barrie...or maybe I'm just smelling the people standing around the 5 points
BillM Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 It's the hippies and nomads that hang out at the 5 Point Rizzo, lol!!!
Rizzo Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 and the smell coming from Fred Grant square isn't helping...at least today's rain might clean some of the people that loiter there all day
lew Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 It's been alot of years since I visited Barrie, but from the description you guys are giving some of the local inhabitants, maybe that's a good thing
Terry Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 it's the smell of smoke coming from the USA Minnesota I think
Harrison Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 Smells like in Barrie.. Well, more the usual.. Is there a certain provincial candidate in town?
GBW Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 And here I thought Nick was going to some how blame, oh never mind...
misfish Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 Yep smelt it here aswell Nick. The fans were sucking in the odur and could see a light haze of smoke.
ketchenany Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 And here I thought Nick was going to some how blame, oh never mind... Fishermen never die, they just smell bad.
misfish Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 Stinks like melting plastic up here on the hill.
NAW Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Posted September 13, 2011 Stinks like melting plastic up here on the hill. Ya, that what is smells like here at work.. That's why I was a little suspicious about the Minnesota forest fire thing.. I guess it's possible.
Miracon Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 LMAO! You guys are hysterical! Rizzo...ever see the rock-kicker downtown?! I definitely stay out of his line of fire! Nick...haven't noticed it myself yet. Guess I should be thankful!
ccmtcanada Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 I've been following this thread today while at work...didn't notice anything in Toronto. When I stepped out of the car at home in Whitby I could smell it...weird...
bucktail Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 Wind just shifted here in Burlington and you can smell it now and its not Hamilton!!
lew Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 I'm 15 miles north of P'Boro and we've had a burning smell in the air for awhile now too. Don't know if it's related in any way with Barrie, but who knows We've also got a blue haze in the air to go with it.
misfish Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 Wind just shifted here in Burlington and you can smell it now and its not Hamilton!! Yer safe SPIEL,it aint you.
kickingfrog Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 Multiple news sites are saying it is the forest fire in Minnesota.
misfish Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 Multiple news sites are saying it is the forest fire in Minnesota. Stay tuned Barrie,for the NEW,City TV Barrie report.
danc Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 The Minnesota fire is producing an incredible amount of smoke. Yesterday it was coming right at us. Here's a satellite video of the fire in it's early stages on Sunday, and as you can see, if the wind is right, the smoke would certainly make it to southern Ontario. Minnesota fire
