Thursday 07/08/2010 Air Pollution

Wood smoke pollution has returned. North St. Paul's most famous feature is filling our air once again and ruining another evening. I guess we've had more fresh air lately than we deserve. Our city council does not think we are entitled to breathe in this town.

4:15 PM: No smoke. 84 degrees and sunny. It is nice summer day.

6:45 PM: Light wood and paper smoke. It smells like burning wood and paper. This time of day, I have a good idea who is doing it. But I am not going to go out looking for it because I do not want to stink up my clothes.

7:15 PM: Light wood smoke continues. 84 degrees measured at North High School.

8:45: A very faint trace of wood smoke lingers in the air.

10:00 PM: No wood smoke.

11:45 PM: No wood smoke.
