Smogden, Utah

What's up with this, Utah?
The air has been worsening for a week straight. The ground-level visibility is probably a mile or two in the middle of the day. You can taste the air.

I grew up in Missoula, MT, which had a geographically-imposed inversion, just like the Wasatch Front. The difference is, in Missoula, they got sick of it 25 years ago and took aggressive steps to improve the air, so they could have a healthy community.

Here, the plan seems to be to wait for the wind to pick up.
