Asian Dust in the Eastern Sierra of California


The Sierra Wave news service ran a radio story about the hazy skies recently in the Eastern Sierra, where we live.  It is that time of year when the dust storms blow off the Asian deserts; we saw that in action when we were in China.  
So we wondered about the Eastern Sierra haze in the air last week, speculating that it might be the Asian spring dust reaching around the globe again.  Good to have that confirmed, yet it is not a pretty thing. We are a very connected world, which is both good and bad and that is one of the key lessons we discovered as we traveled the 38th Parallel around the world.  Here's the link to the radio story:

Why has our air looked so hazy since last Friday? It was made in China, you might say, and blown across the globe to California.

  3. When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several
