The wind just changed here a couple an hour or so ago and really started to blow as a high pressure front came through.  I went outside for a smoke about 10 minutes ago and noticed a heavy haze in the air.  After a quick walk down the street I realized that visibility is now limited to about 3/4 of a mile due to the thick dust in the air.  

Now I have shut all the windows in my house but can smell the dust as it blows through.  We have a very fine sand out here that you just can't seem to get away from.  It covers everything and unless you have a new and well sealed house it just seems to blow right in.

We get dust storms where you can only see about 100 to 200 ft. We have glacial silt here and you cannot keep it out of anything.

You should get out more.

3/4 of a mile is good visibility during some of the storms in eastern New Mexico and west Texas.

I had to drive about 30 mi. through one and it screwed my windshield up pretty bad with pits, plus it seemed liked a good time to put in a new air filter.
