As we in Binghamton get ready to make the switch from the snowy season to the rainy season, one question remains. Why does it smell so good after it rains?
If Mondays aren't bad enough, we may start the next one dealing with a little snow on the morning commute. And that's after kicking off the weekend with heavy rain in Central New York from Tropical Storm Nicole.
If you're like me, you probably are thinking, "Drought? In Spring when it's raining?". I was stunned to learn we are suffering a drought, but it makes sense.
Have you ever noticed that sometimes you can 'smell' the rain? The Central sky is cloudy, and the air just smells...like rain. But what is that smell, really?
