Wonder if it was the smoke. I wonder if one could take geo-located google searches for cold-like symptoms and cross-reference with smoke dispersion patterns to look for a correlation which would support this hypothesis. Could be a cool study that makes the case more convincing. Could also try to compare searches for symptoms after other similar celebratory days which are likely to involve a good bit of drinking but less fireworks. Not my area of expertise, but I think there are a lot of people at the UW who are good with the big data mining of google search data.Dan Eisenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17346683956118701017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-34580375595750879002018-07-05T22:58:54.154-07:002018-07-05T22:58:54.154-07:00Tried to get away from the fireworks high above Sn...Tried to get away from the fireworks high above Snoqualmie Pass. We were surprised by the size of the displays from the developments at the summit and Alpental, with loud booms that lasted to almost midnight! It was was fun at first, starting at 9:30 or so, but got old fast. Left early this morning, stopped at North Bend and the haze was so thick that Si was heavily obscured, we thought there might be a wildfire nearby. The air quality at the pass was noticeably worse.
