3:00 PM: A very faint trace of wood smoke is coming in from the east. I found a hit of wood smoke back on Poplar-Swan and on the park on the eastern edge of Silver Lake. It looks like a nearby house had a bonfire the night before. Could the wood still be smoldering all these hours later?
5:30 PM: No smoke. 62 degrees and cloudy.
8:45 PM: Light grass smoke. The yard waste burning starts already in the city of North St. Paul!
9:07 PM: Light to moderate grass smoke. The yard waste burning is in full force.
9:20 PM: Light grass smoke continues.
10:20 PM: A faint grass smoke lingers in the air.
10:50 PM: A faint smokiness continues.
11:15 PM: Faint wood smoke. I can hear shouting and hollering off in the distance from a loud party. They are probably having a bonfire and producing the wood smoke we smell blocks away.
North St. Paul sucks!
