Archive for December 19th, 2006Living in Missoula has many benefits, however one constant source of frustration is the inversion that happens every winter. Missoula is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains. Every winter, the pollution from neighboring industry, be it paper mills or lumber mills, combined with the exhaust from commuting citizens, creates an inversion of smog that settles over the valley for weeks, blocking the sun.

The question is, would the smog be cut by this redirected sun? clicky. BREITBART.COM - Italian village basks in winter sunlight thanks to giant mirror Tags: |
