It's cold outside. It is twenty degrees here in midtown Manhattan,
a lot of teens in the suburbs, and a high
today of only thirty two degrees. And if we had
snow on the ground, apparently some people can smell it.
I think, so, Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about.

smell snow that there's a thing to it? They said,
cold weather actually cleans things up, so it's like it's
good for us in a sense. Right, the humidity drops
and so does the air pressure. There's less pollution, and
it feels crisp. The air feels crisp, and it's actually

(01:37):
pushing down the sense a little bit, and there is sense.
They said, there's like a whole sense of winter because
we smell the evergreens where people are spraying the stuff around,
but there are yeah, exactly, it's it's cleaner. Basically, winter
air smells good because it's cleaner pressure and full of
