Happy smoky 4th of July. This is the smokiest night of the holiday weekend.
6:25 PM: No wood smoke. 82 degrees, cloudy.
8:00 PM: No wood smoke.
8:45 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke. It is smoky outside. I would not want to breathe air like this for long. It will likely get much worse.
9:45 PM: No wood smoke. The air is not fresh but there is no detectable wood smoke in it.
10:30 PM: Moderate wood smoke. It is very smoky outside. Breathe this toxic North St. Paul air for a few minutes and you will become nauseous.
11:00 PM: Moderately strong wood smoke continues.
Midnight: Light wood smoke continues.
It got smokier after midnight. It was smoky when I last checked the air at 2 AM. We endure horrific air pollution in the city North St. Paul, MN. The only crime we committed was making the mistake of choosing to live our lives in this town.
