    Does water vapour count? (After all it's a greenhouse gas). If so, then it sucks here in Auckland. Rain as far as the eye can see. (About 200 meters at the mo).

    In 2003 Pittsburgh ranked #6 of worst cities (based on number of unhealthy air pollution days) according to Surface Transportation Policy Project reports.

    10.7 of area adults have athsma.

    In Winter, people whinge a bit about woodburner smoke at night.......and other than being a bit damp in winter......the air quality is fanastic wher I'm at......and the water quality is considered to be the best for a city of our size in the world.

    Point conceded. Riverside sucks.

    Move closer to the beach. You have any idea how COLD it gets in Maine?

    Winter air always is great, especially when it has frozen at night. Sort of resembles a smell of vanilla when you come outside IMO.
