It was another smoky as hell Sunday night in our area of North St. Paul, MN. I don't know what was being burned tonight, but it smelled terrible. Yard waste smoke in the afternoon, some strange stuff being burned at night.
12:45 AM: A very faint trace of wood smoke from Saturday night's burning continues.
6:30 AM: A very faint smoldering wood smoke smell is in the air. Nobody near us was burning last night. I don't know where this smoldering smoke is coming from.
12:15 PM: Faint rass and what smells like wood being burned along with it. I smelled the smoke coming in the windows for a minute then it was gone.
1:43 PM: Light grass smoke. An illegal yard waste burner is doing his thing. The smoke lasted a minute then it was gone.
2:15 PM: Light wood and grass smoke. Is this the same yard waste burner as earlier or a different one? So many people burn yard waste these days you don't know.
2:30 PM: Faint grass smoke continues. It's been a continuous 15 minutes of grass smoke. The windows were closed. I hate this city.
3:00 PM: No smoke. Windows reopened.
4:00 PM: No smoke. 76 degrees.
5:15 PM: No smoke. 74 degrees, partly cloudy.
6:30 PM: No smoke.
7:30 PM: No smoke.
8:40 PM: Moderate, really terrible smelling smoke. Something strange is being burned. It could be wood or tree branches with something else. I can't say what it is. It's a shame that we have to close the windows on a nice, cool summer evening like we usually do. The city of North St. Paul sucks!
8:45 PM: Light strange smoke continues.
9:15 PM: Faint strange smoke continues.
9:45 PM: Light to moderate strange smoke continues.
11:15 PM: A light smoldering strange smoke continues. No chance of opening the windows tonight.
There was a faint smokiness in the air when I woke around 3:30 AM Monday morning. Does North St. Paul sound like a good place to live to you? North St. Paul sucks!
