Earlier this week (maybe Monday, maybe last week Friday), while I was driving to work the skyline actually had a hazy, smoggy brownish tint to it. That was one of the "air quality alert" days, when the air was so bad for us that people with serious breathing conditions weren't supposed to leave their homes. Luckily, the latest round of moisture is also coming in the form of rain, so the atmosphere is being cleaned out.
And, happily, my sinuses haven't been as bad for the past day or so and my eyes haven't been burning or itching. Both very good things. Especially when the fog on the drive home tonight was so thick in a couple of spots that the visibility was only a half block or so. It was pretty and all, but I had no way to photograph it to share with you, so don't scroll down looking for one.
Tellyawhat, though... If you want to know what it was like, try this: Look out your window and imagine that everything is shades of black and white -- and that you can't see more than about 20 feet clearly. Possibly try doing this while looking through some sheer fabric. If you want it to seem really foggy, you could also try this using a white cotton sheet. Or, alternately, if you want it to be "fog at night" try a black cotton sheet. Do not try any of these while driving.
But, anyway, back to the weather. It's foggy. And it's trying to be wet (a little rain, a little drizzle, a lot of nuisance). And we're not predicted to see the sun again until Sunday or Monday.
How's by you?
