Extremely heavy wood smoke tonight. The air was so heavily polluted you could not stand to breathe it! It was so smoky you could smell the smoke seeping into the house with all the windows closed. Living in North St. Paul is like living in hell. Not uncharacteristic of a weekend night in North St. Paul. Or any other night.
5:00 PM: No smoke. 68 degrees, cloudy, with rain forecast for late tonight.
5:35 PM: Moderately strong wood smoke coming and going on the wind. We are enduring bursts of very smoky air. Asshole frequent burner is burning again. This stupid city allows him to burn seven days a week. He takes advantage of it as much as he wants. Tonight everyone around here is paying the price.
7:00 PM: Moderate wood smoke continues.
8:00 PM: No smoke at this time. It comes and goes on the wind. It will be back when the wind shifts.
9:00 PM: Light wood smoke.
10:00 PM: Strong wood smoke. The air is so polluted it is a serious health hazard! You can't stand to breathe this air. Your lungs resist your efforts to draw in air when the smoke is this heavy, which is common in North St. Paul, MN.
11:25 PM: Strong wood smoke continues. We have endured about six hours of heavy wood smoke in the air coming and going this evening. It is going to be a long and smoky night. North St. Paul is hell on earth!
