Smell a slightly burnt or very lightly sweet smell here in Concord, seems like people in Connecticut and Rhode Island is also noticing this so I doubt this is something local

Surprising considering the other half by RI.

Have you seen the post on r/Connecticut yet?

Which post? There's been 30 LMAO.

Some of this is normal. It's been dry and warm here, which means molds and other bits and bobs haven't been controlled this winter. Tie that in to the hysteria around the Ohio incident and "ZOMG it smells weird" turns into "oh yeah it DOES smell a bit like chlorine" etc.

The other contributing factor to this is CT and RI are dealing with fallout from a front that picked up dirt and dust in OK and is now depositing said dirt/dust here.

If I'm proven wrong I'll own it, but this smells like a lot of people exhausted from catastrophe after catastrophe and haven't had a chance to breathe.

Fair enough. Waiting for the EPA’s and NASA’s eventual announcement at this rate. Whole slew of potentially different causes.
