I don't know whether anyone else smells this, because I never hear people talk about it.
Some time in November, no matter the weather, there will be this empty, metallic, crisp, clean burning smell. I usually only catch whiffs of it a few times. It's how I gauge when winter is here.
Maybe this is just how winter smells and I get noseblind to it quickly?

It could be someone near you doing a controlled burn of their fields. IDK why farmers do it but I know it's a thing. I can sometimes smell it where I am though I am not a huge fan of whatever it is we burn around here.

Yeah. I know that one. That's a good one. The burning I'm thinking of is burning leaves.
