12:45 AM: Moderately strong wood smoke continues. The air outside is very smoky.
3:10 AM: Moderate wood smoke continues. Very smoky air at 3 AM is not unusual in this city. It is 69 degrees outside right now, six degrees cooler than inside the house. Ten years ago, before our city turned into hell on earth, we would have the windows open with a nighttime temperature like this. We would run the air conditioning on a hot day and turn it off at night and let mother nature cool our house naturally. We have not been able to do that for years. Hey, Jan Walczak, can you smell the wood smoke where you live? Do you have your windows open?
5:00 AM: No wood smoke. The air is mostly clear. Thank God!
5:15 PM: No smoke. 85 degrees.
9:00 PM: A very faint trace of something is in the air. I cannot say it is wood smoke. The air is not fresh.
11:45: Still no real wood smoke. A very faint trace of something lingers in the air.
There was no detectable wood smoke this evening. A chance of thunderstorms was forecast for the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. It did not start raining until around 2 AM Sunday morning. It may be that the forecast for storms discouraged recreational bonfire pollution. A summer Saturday night without smoky air is unheard of in these parts.
