Can you "smell" the way the wind blows??

When the wind blows from the north, south or west around here, it's fine but when it blows from the east, we get the lovely fumes of the pig farm a few miles away.....ewwww!!:p


Can you tell which way the wind is blowing due to odors, good or bad???:D

Can you "smell" the way the wind blows??

Depends on what we had for dinner ;)

[Harley Chick]

Yep, I can tell when the General Mills factory is making Coco Puffs if the wind is blowing in the right direction.:) Makes me hungry.

No, I can't tell the direction of the wind from the "aroma". In the spring I spell lot's of manure, but there are farms in all 4 directions so who knows who's farm I'm smelling :)

Oh, you bet I can!:p

We live across the road from a dairy farm. Most days the wind is blowing the "right" way, but when it's blowing the "wrong" way.......let's just say we don't open the windows those days. ;)

No. When I was a child I used to think I could smell when it was getting cold, but then my mom pointed out that the people across the street had a wood-burning heater. :D

i can smell rain coming, and its a fresh smell. i wish i could smell it now were in a drought.:)

[binny]

yep if it blows from the west ( which is rare thankfully) we smell the horses a few blocks away. lovely.

If we go out to Nampa we can smell the sugar beet factory yuck.

[Boots]

Nope, everything just smells the same! Unless DH burns something yucky in the burn pile!!!

In Montgomery, AL, it's so obvious when the winds comes from the north. There's a paper mill north of town and it stinks like nasty farts!

Ewwww... LOL... Well we have a large smokestack that stretches like a mile into the sky... for the mine here... But it's so high it just blows somewhere else. LOL.
