Bad smelling fog

bogwalrus

I live outside macroom and there is a very bad smelling fog in the area. It seems to be many kilometers across so I don't think it is localised. I live high up so can see quite a distance. I read online that sometimes bad smelling fog can come from the sea but this smells very chemical based not like seaweed. Any ideas?

I just looked at a weather map of current wind direction and notice that wind is coming from main land Europe. Could this smog have been pushed from Europe rather than originating from the sea?

Noticed a dirty/brown looking haze in Dublin this morning.

Any sign of tentacled creatures from the abyss wandering about in it? If so, the news isn't good...

Cantona's Collars

It's the fumes from the Cork snowshield being fired up and tested for next week.

I'm sure if I inhaled enough of it I would be seeing more than tentacles.

Some google searching brought me to a page about vog which describes the sulfur smell and reddish grey appearance of the smog. However vog is owned from volcanic fumes and I don't think there are any active volcanoes nearby.

Im living in Macroom & there was a haze this morning driving to cork, it cleared around EMC, then driving home was the same. I didn't get any smell though.

This has happened near me in the past and it was due to a large pig farm, the wind direction along with fog meant the smell was slowly carried and held then.

Dublin regularly gets a brown cover of smog thing, I will try and post a photo next time I see it.

We need something to speculate over between model runs :pac:

I remember asking my wife's late grandmother, what singes would tell her if snow was coming, she said a smell of rotten frog span would be smelled before a heavy snow, she was from eastern Europe

If smelly fog is all I can get, then smelly fog it is. I'll take it.

Are there any models that can depict smelly fog?

See I don't know what fresh frog spawn smells like, so this means nothing to me.

Main model updates at 2200, 0400, 1000 and 1600, ECM around 1830 and 0630

In the intervening 6 and 12 hour periods expect coping mechanisms to kick in for those with less willpower

I say we get to the bottom of this smelly fog business, once and for all

Its smelly snow you have to watch out for.
Sneaks up on you one flake at a time.
That's where the name weather bomb comes from. Stinkfest from on high

Probably just a local farmer aggregating the slurry tank, and it just happened to be foggy at the same time

Dude, that makes no sense.

If the government were secretly spraying us with all-sorts, why would they make it smell like crap?
