Saturday 07/18/2009 Air Pollution

It was bad enough that it was smoky all of last evening and well into the morning hours. We had to endure wood smoke pollution most of this day.

1:00 AM: Very faint wood smoke.

1:45 AM: Faint wood smoke.

3:45 AM: Faint wood smoke continues. I stuck my head out the door when I woke up.

That makes 10.5 hours of continuous wood smoke.

12:30 PM: Faint to light wood smoke. 62 degrees, cloudy. Wood smoke this early is probably from some jerk using a fireplace in July.

1:30 PM: Faint to light wood smoke continues.

2:30 PM: Faint to light wood smoke continues.

3:30 PM: Faint to light wood smoke continues.

5:30 PM: Light wood smoke in the front yard. None in the back.

6:45 PM: Faint to light wood smoke.

8:15 PM: Faint to light wood smoke continues.

9:30 PM: Faint wood smoke.

11:00 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke. Can't open the windows. Stuffy in here.

Midnight: Moderate wood smoke. It's smoky outside. Damn this polluted city. This makes almost 12 hours of nonstop smoky air today. No fresh air in North St. Paul. 56 degrees.
