WELCOME TO HELL ON EARTH
The air is smoky from burning wood in North St. Paul, MN, almost every evening. It is a nightmare. What used to be a nice place to live has become a living hell.
WARNING: If you buy a house in North St. Paul, MN, you will regret it! It may be the biggest, most expensive mistake you ever make. You will breathe smoky air almost every day of your life in this town. This is not an exaggeration. The wood smoke in this town gets heavy and gets heavy often. When you want to get out of this dump of a town, how many people do you think are going to want to buy a house in a city where heavy air pollution every night is normal and clean air is rare? This blog gets thousands of visitors every year. The word is out: North St. Paul is a horrible place to live!
Fresh air is very rare around here. If you are considering moving to North St. Paul or buying a home here, I strongly recommend that you do not do it no matter how good of a price you get. The only way you will be happy in this town is if you love breathing smoky air almost every day. North St. Paul, MN, is a horrible place to live because of the smoky air!
Burning wood, grass, leaves, paper, cardboard, and sometimes plastic, construction materials, and chemicals, if it is combustible it gets burned in North St. Paul and you are going to breathe it.
The air was smoky 25 out of 31 evenings in July 2009. We had 37 hours of continuous wood smoke in the air Aug. 29th - 31st. There was wood smoke in the air 19 consecutive evenings from Aug. 21st to Sept. 8th. It rained heavily on Aug. 20th, providing the only relief we got from wood smoke for almost three weeks.
Is this a good way to live? No. It is a horrible way to live. Take it from someone who knows. Breathing smoky, polluted air every day is misery.
Every day in this city several people are having recreational fires. Every evening the air is filled with the stench of burning wood. I am one person sick and tired of breathing smoky air every day. Is it too much to ask to be able to breathe fresh air in your own home?
Who is responsible for this wood smoke nightmare? The four city council members are responsible. Council members Jan Walczak, Bob Bruton, Terry Furlong, and Dave Zick have refused to do anything about this wood smoke problem. They don't care if you have a child with asthma. They don't care if you have to live like a shut-in because the air is so polluted. They don't care if your sinuses burn because the wood smoke is so heavy.
Our four Council members have defended the rights of a small percentage of households to burn wood daily over the rights of all the rest of us to breathe.
You have no right to breathe under Walczak, Bruton, Furlong, and Zick. Burners have the right to burn wood 49 hours a week recreationally. The rest of us have no rights at all.
If you are considering purchasing real estate in the city of North Saint Paul, Minnesota (55109), factor this blog carefully into your decision. Buying a home in this city means that your kids will breathe smoky air while playing in the yard almost every day. Your baby will breathe smoky air in her crib should you leave the windows open around your house. If you leave your windows open you will wake up in the middle of the night choking on smoky air.
Perhaps worst of all, your utility rates will be high because you will have to run the air conditioner instead of leaving the windows open on a cool summer evening. You have no other choice because almost every night the air is too smoky to breathe in this city. Consider this blog your warning.
North St. Paul, Minnesota, is a wonderful community other than the wood smoke. If we could restore fresh air like we used to enjoy, life would be happy again. But that is not going to happen any time soon.

It was an extremely smoky evening. Burning leaf smoke in the afternoon followed by heavy wood smoke in the evening. If you don't want to breathe heavy smoke pollution, you will be miserable in North St. Paul as we are.
3:30 PM: Very faint leaf smoke at this time.
4:15 PM: Very faint leaf smoke continues. In the distance I can see two homes down the road burning in their backyards. The smoke isn't making it this direction as it is blowing south. One is a frequent wood and yard waste burner. 51 degrees and sunny.

When I woke Sunday morning at 6 AM the air was fresh. The air was fresh all morning Sunday. People say that fireplaces are used for home heating. Most are not. We have very little wood smoke in the air in the mornings even in the middle of winter. Wood smoke from fireplaces is concentrated in the evenings making them recreational in purpose. If people used fireplaces for home heating, wouldn't they be used in the morning which is usually the coldest part of the day?

It will probably another smoky hell of an evening.
5:00 PM: Fresh air for the time being. 62 degrees, sunny, and very windy. The TV news reports wind gusts of up to 40 miles per hour.
6:00 PM: Fresh air continues. Nothing is in it. The fresh air is wonderful! I stepped outside and took a few deep breaths of the unpolluted air. In a couple of hours the air will probably be smoky again. 60 degrees.
It is another smoky hell of an evening like I knew it would be. The air is always polluted in North St. Paul. Winter is the least smoky season in this town. I look forward to the arrival of zero degree temperatures. At least the air will not be smoky.
8:25 PM: Moderately strong wood smoke. The air is very smoky. Feeling restless, I considered going for a walk. I declined. Exercising in heavy air pollution is not enjoyable. If the wood smoke pollution is heavy enough, your sinuses burn, your throat burns and your eyes get irritated. Inhaling soot, ash, tar, and cancer-causing chemicals with every breath isn't something I really care to do.

There was no wood smoke this evening. I noticed no yard waste smoke all day. A couple windows were left slightly open around the house including the window in the room where I watched the Minnesota Vikings and other football games. The temperature was 57 degrees at 4 PM and it was cloudy. By 11 PM the temperature dropped to 48 degrees. At that cool temperature, there was not a trace of wood smoke in the air. It was wonderful. It was a great evening for everyone who loves fresh, unpolluted air. I stepped outside a couple of times this evening and took a few deep breaths of clean air. It is not usually possible to do that because the air in this city is so heavily polluted with wood smoke.

It will certainly be smoky tonight. There was no wood smoke this morning or all day.
