Holy shit, we're the second biggest hotspot for CO next to... basically all of eastern China? What the hell is going on here?

Wind blowing over from Ohio/Pittsburgh? It was bound to make its way over

More likely the two dozen coal-fired power plants in PA and Ohio, since those don't stop—and they're nearly all west of us, so that shit gets blown right our way.

Also, fuck-tonne of cars.
