Why the East Village smells like a campfire this morning



Oh, morning! Pretty nice out. Kinda misty/smoky though... and there's a noticeable odor...



Thanks to some alert EVG Facebook friends ... here's the answer... via NBC 4:

The smell of smoke wafted over New York City early Monday after a brush fire broke out in a state forest in central New Jersey, authorities say.

Storm Team 4 meteorologists say that winds most likely carried the smoke to the area Sunday evening. Winds died down overnight, settling the odor over the city. The odor should be observable for the next eight to 12 hours.

Working on the EVG Odorama feature now...

    Please no Odorama. Scratch 'n Sniff would be better. Then we could choose to smell the smoke or not.

    Thanks for the psa - I was wondering. Brought me back to those weird super-sweet smelling days some years back and trying to remember what the official cause supposedly was ---conspiracy theories about to run rampant in my brain.

    Thanks for the heads up. Thought the neighbors were having a séance.

    Actually, Ken—Odorama was scratch-and-sniff. At least for the John Waters movie it was.
