We couldn't possibly make it through the weekend without wood smoke, could we? No.
7:00 PM: Intermittent light wood smoke on the breeze. Wind is gusty. Smoke is coming from a distance. Nobody nearby is burning. Sunny and 48 degrees at this time. Unseasonably cool.
7:30 PM: Consistent light wood smoke.
9:00 PM: Light wood smoke still in the air.
10:00 PM: Light wood smoke continues. This was the last check of the air quality this evening.
The air wasn't too smoky tonight. You wouldn't want light wood smoke in your home any more than you would want heavy wood smoke. Left the windows closed all evening. In a normal city with city leaders who actually care about the quality of life, I would have left a window open a crack all night long for fresh air. But not in North St. Paul. No fresh air available in this town.
