Saw it Saturday on the way to pick up my skis. Looked like something you’d see in California. Couldn’t see it from the actual ski area however as it’s pretty far off. Side note…we do need rain pretty badly. The Lehigh river at Lehighton looks like a creek and unfortunately no rain 50 and 60 degree temps are all I see in the forecast. Starting to get a bit nervous
Here is the current perimeter of the burned area. Fire is most active on the southern and eastern edges. Not sure how much, if at all it is still expanding.
For reference, the brush fire's distance from Blue Mountain, the true Mountain, is the equivalent of 4 Nile Miles put together. That should help some dumb multiple people who messaged you to understand.
I just drove back to Allentown from Wilkes Barre and I was surprised the air wasn’t that smoky…I couldn’t see flames but saw a lot of smoke near the Lehigh gap. People are dumb multiple people messages me asking if this will affect the ski season. No being warm AF might.
