1:00 AM: Faint wood smoke lingers in the air. Warm and stuffy inside the house. I would love to open the windows and let some cool air in, but I don't want to breathe any type of wood smoke when I am inside the house, especially when I am in bed. The wood smoke is faint, but it is still enough to irritate my nose.
3:30 AM: Air is fresh and clear. Open the windows and let the cool, fresh air in! There is nothing in the air to irritate my nose now.
6:55 PM: Light wood smoke for 10 - 15 minutes.
7:30 PM: Faint intermittent wood smoke carried on the breeze out of the east. Wood smoke is very light and varies on wind speed and direction. But you can smell the unmistakable odor of burning wood.
8:00 PM: Faint intermittent wood smoke continues.
8:30 PM: No wood smoke beyond this point for the duration of the evening.
Overall, an uncharacteristically low wood smoke day in North St. Paul, MN. Especially with the pleasant temperature in the low 70s and sun.
