Burning Smell Returns

Has it been raining there lately? I've noticed the smell a few times after driving in the rain and I've come to the conclusion that it is road grime burning off the exhaust.

That could be a possibility. We've had snow followed by on/off wet streets and drizzle. It was wet again today and the damp roads lead to road salt caked over the entire car. Road grime on the hot cats could be it.
