In Maryland we had a very dry and warm winter (only 4 inches of snow) and now in the midwest you guys are still getting all this snow in April, especially around the great lakes. a few days ago it was the highest pollen count ever recorded it was 2,500 something and 90 is considered high. Then record breaking heat in the high 90s and the next day severe thunderstorms rolled in and made giant clouds of pollen the turned the air and sky green-yellow. It was like a dust storm but with pollen. Now its back to low 60's. I wish i had a picture of the pollen storm it was like something from the X-files.
