6:30 PM: Around this time I noticed light wood smoke as I was leaving. I didn't stick around to find out how long it lasted. 72 degrees and sunny at this time. Very nice.
8:30 PM: There was no wood smoke in my area when I returned.
I took a drive through a small part of the city on my way back. I noticed light wood smoke on Lake Blvd. just north of St. Mary's Cemetery. I happened to pass through the intersection of Charles & 18th. There was no wood smoke over there. Last year, this was the smokiest part of the city. If you read my posts from 2008, I describe how smoky it was in that area.

Other than the wood smoke on Lake Blvd., I did not notice it anywhere else. I thought there would be more. Don't worry, there will be. The peak wood burning season is just getting started in North St. Paul. When the kids are out of school, that's when recreation burning takes off. The last day of school is June 9th.
10:00 PM: I can't say there is any wood smoke at this time. I stepped onto the deck to check the air. There's a nice breeze coming out of the east. 62 degrees at this hour.
Overall, this was a very light day for wood burning. The less air pollution from burning wood, the better.
