Friday 06/03/2011 Air Pollution

A Friday with no rain and as usual the air is smoky. Do you want to buy a home in a city where you will be breathing smoky air in bed every night if you open the windows? North St. Paul sucks. It's a horrible place to live.

5:00 PM: No smoke. 88 degrees and humid. The official high temperature for today in the Twin Cities was 92 degrees.

5:50 PM: Light grass smoke at this time. More illegal yard waste burning. I think this year is the worst ever for yard waste burning.

6:00 PM: Light wood smoke. Now some wood smoke added to the yard waste burning. Do you want to live in a city like this?

6:30 PM: No smoke.

7:00 PM: No smoke.

8:00 PM: No smoke.

8:40 PM: Very faint wood smoke is in the air at this time. It comes and goes with the breeze.

9:00 PM: No smoke.

9:45 PM: No smoke. 81 degrees.

10:10 PM: A very faint trace of wood smoke is in the air at this time.

10:30 PM: Faint wood smoke.

11:00 PM: No smoke.

11:45 PM: Light wood smoke at this time. No way we can leave the windows open to cool the house tonight. North St. Paul sucks!
