10:00 PM: No wood smoke up until this point. Just wonderful fresh air. Spent several hours outside today and this evening enjoying the summer weather while it lasts. A gorgeous, cool summer day. It is wonderful for once to sit outside and not have to breathe wood smoke. Nobody burned yard waste either. 78 degrees and mostly cloudy at 5 PM. Sunny and 73 degrees at 8 PM.
I anticipated that this evening would be another miserable smoky evening. Wood burning has been starting late lately, often after 10 PM. We still have a couple hours to go.
If we make it through the day without any wood smoke, this will be the first day since last Tuesday (5 days) that we haven't had to endure wood smoke pollution. I've got my fingers crossed.
11:00 PM: No wood smoke.
Midnight: No wood smoke.
Finally, a day without air pollution. This does not happen often in North St. Paul.
