4:30 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke. Welcome home to polluted air! 41 degrees.
Spring is coming. That means the air will soon get smokier. Conventional wisdom says the air will be smokier in the winter. Not in the city of North St. Paul, MN. Recreational burning starts in this polluted nightmare of a city begins as soon as April. We get smoke from recreational bonfires and fireplaces at the same time.
6:00 PM: Extremely faint trace of wood smoke and a burnt rubber smell at this time.
8:00 PM: The air is mostly clear at this time. Last check of the evening.
