Minnesota Malaria, Part III - here we go again

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an air quality warning for the twin cities for high particulate matter in the air. The air quality scale is at 118 as of 7:00 AM this morning, heading into the thick of rush hour. 0 would be pristine air, 200+ is basically toxic. 118 is listed as being "unhealthy for sensitive groups" - the sick, elderly, small children, anyone wanting to get some exercise. It's supposed to last all weekend, but clear out by monday or so.

We had the same thing last february, and it sucked.
