here they mention the infamous maple syrup smell well known to hoboken and jc residents. the scale of the smell and rapidness of its spread is weird. most annoying is the lack of accountability. (shrug)
Adding to the alarm was the strength and duration of the odor, which may have been aggravated by a weather phenomenon known as a temperature inversion. Inversions, which often occur when a warm front moves over a cooler, denser air mass, cause the temperature closer to the ground to be cooler and the air higher up to be warmer — a reversal of the usual pattern. Inversions can trap pollutants and odors, preventing them from being dispersed upward.
