Read the horrors of living in North St. Paul, MN. Burning sinuses, nausea, headaches, sore throat, shortness of breath, if you are healthy you can experience all of these maladies in this town. If you have asthma or respiratory disorders, North St. Paul's heavy air pollution could be DEADLY. Smoky air almost every day of your life in this polluted nightmare of a town.

Wednesday 08/31/2011 Air Pollution
There was no wood smoke this evening due to warmth and high humidity. It was not too warm for bonfires, but coupled with the high humidity, the air was muggy and uncomfortable. Insects like mosquitoes (one bit me on the neck) and whatever flew into my ear this evening were heavy, too. The temperature in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area was 84 degrees around 5 PM, with the weather widget on this blog indicating the temperature at 81 degrees at Century College in White Bear Lake. As we often experience, when the air conditioning is on, people aren't burning. People burn all over the place when the weather is fair enough to have the windows open. I went out this evening after dark and did not find any wood or yard waste smoke in any of the usual places. With the holiday weekend upon us, we will be glad to have any fresh air we can get in North St. Paul. It could be a long, smoky weekend.
