Thursday 05/10/2012 Air Pollution

Heavy wood smoke from the prior evening's burning continued well after midnight.  Then we were treated to more heavy smoke pollution this evening.

Do you want to live in a city like this?

12:30 AM:  Moderate to strong wood smoke continues.

2:00 AM:  Moderate wood smoke.  The smoke pollution is starting to decrease.  The burners must have went inside and left the fire to burn itself out so it smolders all night long.

4:30 AM:  A faint to light smoldering wood smoke lingers in the air.

The air was clear when I woke this morning.

5:15 PM:  No smoke.  Sunny, breezy, 73 degrees and beautiful.

7:00 PM:  No smoke.  Fresh air.  It won't last.

8:25 PM:  Strong wood smoke.  I don't know who is burning.  With the smoke extremely heavy like this the burner must not be far.  I stepped outside for a minute and looked around to find nobody around us burning.  My clothes reeked of wood smoke from being outside a short time.

8:45 PM:  No smoke.  The breeze must have shifted direction. 

There was no more wood smoke for the rest of the night.
