[quote=Anonymous]Where I grew up, there was little in the way of central heating. People used open fires and wood burners a lot in winter. Thermal inversions (a temperature phenomenon) made conditions worse. I tried to take my kids out for a walk one winter when I was back and we lasted one block before we rushed back because of the smoke. The air pollution was horrendous and the government has had to take action to ban open fires and old wood/coal burners. I live in Arlington now, and the air is noticeably better in winter than back home because people rely on their central heating. I imagine these new neighbors believe there is something romantic about open fires at Christmas. It is not harmless, and I can understand your annoyance.[/quote]
