Another very nice spring day. The high temperature was in the mid 60s. I expected wood smoke to be very heavy again this evening. It wasn't as bad as usual.
6:00 PM: Air is starting to get smoky from burning wood. Very faint as of now. Close all windows around house. Sealing up the house has become a ritual of sorts. It is something you must do whether you want to or not.
7:30 PM: Moderately smoky air.
8:30 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke in the air.
10:00 PM: Air is lightly smoky.
11:00 PM: Light wood smoke lingers.
Midnight: Faint trace of wood smoke can be detected. You can smell it a little.
This was the least smoky evening all week. But it certainly is not fresh air like we deserve.
Wood smoke is a nuisance and public health hazard.
