I do think it is heavier. Maybe due to the milder winter and rain.

I feel like this is the first year since I moved here that I feel like I've eaten it just walking my dog around.

I will say an added benefit to all this mask wearing is it stops the pollen from irritating my throat. I really do not remember it being this heavy, I have never seen this yellow haze over everything. It's the lack of rain that is making it worse and so far, all we got in my corner of Cary was 8 drops and some noise. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we get some rain soon.

That storm was all bark and no bite around here. Some rumbles of thunder, a few intense lightning flashes; maybe 3 minutes of rain. Did squat for pollen remediation.

I'm pretty happy with the rain, was as good as a car wash, and cheaper.

North Durham got enough rain that people see I drive a Blue SUV again. So there’s that.

West Cary - 27519 - slight thunderstorm with only a little rain - just made the pollen caked up instead of washing it away. Would have been better with no storm. Maybe today is better with the storms. Feels weird hoping for a downpour!
