Monday 05/03/2010 Air Pollution

4:00 PM: No wood smoke. Light rain for a few minutes.

6:30 PM: A very faint smokiness is in the air. I cannot say it is wood smoke. It could be a grill. 55 degrees.

7:00 PM: Light wood smoke at this time. I could smell it coming in the window. It was strong enough to require the windows to be closed. The stench of wood smoke is unmistakable when you breathe smoky air almost every day as we do.

7:15 PM: The wood smoke is gone. It went as quickly as it came. A shift in wind direction could have brought the smoke to us for a brief period before shifting again.

There was no more wood smoke for the duration of the evening.
