Nothing says welcome home and have a nice weekend like burning yard waste! North St. Paul sucks.
4:20 PM: Faint grass smoke is in the air. Is it the same people burning a little bit of yard waste each day or is it new yard waste burners? Burning of everything and anything becomes more common each year thanks to the idiots who run this stupid city. 63 degrees and cloudy at this time with wind gusts.
6:00 PM: No smoke.
7:05 PM: Faint to light wood smoke at this time with a few rain drops falling.
7:25 PM: Light wood smoke. It's getting stronger. There was not much rain and it has stopped at this time.
8:15 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke that smells more like burning branches than logs. Stronger still. You can't have your windows open with smoke this heavy. If you do your house will quickly smell like wood smoke pollution. The windows were open earlier for fresh air and have since been closed. 58 degrees at this time.
9:00 PM: No smoke. Fresh air. How long will it last?
