Wood smoke was in the air all of last night and all day today.
1:15 AM: Light wood smoke. Checked the air on the way back to bed. It has gotten smokier outside. Must be from the use of a fireplace.

11:00 AM: Very faint trace of wood smoke continues. This makes about 18 hours of nearly constant wood smoke in the air.
3:30 PM: Very faint trace of wood smoke continues. Woke up from a nap. No, I am not surprised to find wood smoke in the air at this time. A few windows were left open. I could smell a very faint trace of wood smoke inside the house when I awoke. 65 degrees at this time.
5:00 PM: Very faint trace of wood smoke continues. This makes 24 hours of constant wood smoke in the air. No fresh air for 24 hours in the city of North St. Paul!
5:45 PM: Faint wood smoke. The wood smoke is getting stronger. Probably some jerk grilling meat using wood. The recreational bonfires are bad enough, but a trend is growing in popularity of using wood for grilling food. We often get wood smoke in the early evening from grilling and then wood smoke all evening long from recreational fires. 67 degrees at this time in St. Paul according to the TV news. The Weatherbug widget on this blog indicates a temperature at 71 degrees measured at North High School. I am wondering how accurate it is.
