A bit shaky, but driving home I just drove around the city enjoying the fog. It's odd, we never have fog here except for New Year's day. Every single year without fail.

Unfortunately, this is most likely due to small particles left over from fireworks. They are linked to several health issues.

100%.

I have to take antihistamines every year before midnight or my eyes start itching and watering.

If you're from the US, is this also an issue on the 4th of July?

They turn the fog up so they can lower the draw distance whilst they update all the assets for the new 2025 versions.

It's 100% the smoke from the fireworks, the stink of sulfur when coming back home is unbearable.

It might be party fog, but it's like that since NYE morning every year. And my city isn't big on fireworks since they got banned because pet-owners and animal shelters were complaining. Great decision tbh

Edit: what the fuck is party fog, i meant firework smoke lol

It's more of a matter of actually being able to enforce that, good thing there has been a push for it over there, in my whole neighbourhood my dog is the only one that doesn't give a flying fuck about fireworks; considering he's a hunting dog.

Pay no attention, citizen, that's just the annual refresh of the Idiocracy gas.
