What's that smell on the Northside?

Both the time-frame and the recent wind patterns would suggest that it might indeed be Soufriere Hills volcano on Montserrat. They've had major activity in the last few weeks. It's been quite noticeable over here on St Croix. At least it makes for beautiful sunsets...

We live on the Northside.

We cook on charcoal --- cheeseburgers,,,, often.....

that might be it .... 🙂

There have been some people making charcoal the old fashioned way - a pit with a small smoke hole - in Santa Maria, Pearl and Bordeaux the last few months -- intense smell if you are down wind - a bit distressing in a residential neighborhood but its * cultural* .
