Summer draws to a close. It's been a brutal hell of wood smoke pollution in North St. Paul. It isn't going to get any better anytime soon.
2:00 AM: Faint wood smoke.
3:30 AM: Very faint wood smoke. You can barely smell it. You can tell there is wood smoke in the air. If the windows were open it would be coming in the house and you could smell it.
4:15 AM: Very faint wood smoke continues.
6:30 AM: Very faint wood smoke continues. This marks 37 hours of nearly constant wood smoke in the air.
4:00 PM: Air is not fresh. Something is in it. I can't say it is wood smoke.
6:30 PM: Light wood smoke. It's getting smoky already. Aren't we lucky? 71 degrees at this time.
7:08 PM: Light wood smoke continues.
8:15 PM: Faint wood smoke.
8:45 PM: Moderate wood smoke. Really smoky outside.
9:37 PM: Faint to light wood smoke. It's losing intensity.
9:55 PM: Faint wood smoke. Heading in the right direction. 60 degrees.
10:15 PM: Very faint wood smoke. You can still smell wood smoke in the air. Not much, but it is there.
11:30 PM: Light wood smoke. It has increased in intensity again.
Another smoky hell of an evening. Like usual.
