There is no day of rest for burning in North St. Paul. You cannot enjoy a relaxing Sunday without smoke from wood or yard waste coming into your home in this horrible city.
4:30 PM: No smoke. 77 degrees, sunny, a little warm for this time of year but nice.
4:45 PM: Faint smoke from something being burned, I don't know what. Close the windows! The smoke is blowing in from the south.
5:10 PM: No smoke. 80 degrees. Storm clouds are moving in.
5:48 PM: No smoke. Cloudy now. Storms have made their way into the northwest metro.
6:27 PM: A few drops of rain fell then stopped.
6:40 PM: Faint to light grass smoke. Somebody took the opportunity to burn some yard waste during a gap in the rain. Where are they getting the yard waste from? The ground was covered with snow five days ago, yards are too soft to rake.
6:44 PM: Very faint grass smoke continues.
6:50 PM: No smoke.
7:00 PM: No smoke.
7:50 PM: Faint to light grass smoke.
8:10 PM: Light to moderate possible wood and waste being burned. It reeks! Some type of waste is being burned.
I did not bother to check the air any more this evening. The air was smoky again this evening and I need to document no further.
