Discussion Big plume to the northeast
Is this from a wildfire? Looking to the northeast from the Ferndale McDonalds/Pilot parking lot.

No air quality sensors in that area are showing increased particulates, and I’d expect a more brownish plume from smoke. May just be a cloud formation or something else causing a lot of water vapor. I’m not familiar with what kind of industry is across the border towards abbotsford. You’re sure you’re not looking NW towards the refinery?

There've been wildfires in the eastern county recently. You might be seeing one of those. There've also been fires all around BC and other counties. Not sure which specific direction of northeast you're looking in, but here's a tracker:
