When we stepped outside earlier, it smelled like something was burning. My 5-year-old also noticed that he couldn’t see the mountains, because a hazy smoke was obscuring the view. I initally thought it was due to the [Poor Mountain Fire](http://www.roanoke.com/news/breaking/wb/165533 “Roanoke Times”), but an [article from WSLS](http://www.wsls.com/sls/news/local/southside/article/smoke_alert_for_southside_floyd_co_seeing_smoke_too/12473/ “WSLS”) states that hazy smoke is probably from a fire in North Carolina.
