What's that funny smell that sometimes comes out of the sky right before its about to rain? It smells kinda salty like the ocean even though I'm 300 miles from the ocean. It only happens sometimes.

This gives actual rain its smell, not the smell of the atmosphere right before the storm when the down draft and electrical conditions of the atmosphere are just right.

Humans are extremely sensitive to the chemicals producing the smells. It only takes a very light rain kicking up actinomycetes, and the wind can blow that shit a long way. While you see it as "before the storm", it's coming from light rainfall in another place and just blowing ahead of the storm.

Related to this, what is that smell you sense early in spring when the snow starts retreating? I can smell it on in this brief period of the year. It is not unpleasant, just a little strange, kind of gives good associations with spring finally arriving.
