We have the same thing here from the poplar trees. It hasn't started yet, but in areas with a lot of poplars, the air is full of the cotton puffs and they coat the ground.
Yes, my part of Austria. Always at this time of the year.
It's awful and if you have allergies like me, it's just dreadful! I wanted to go for walk the University Campus and didn't get far with all the sneezing I did while outside! Hopefully we are almost done with all this-the cotton is everywhere...car, house, air, etc! Yuck!!
You too, JA? Seems just terrible here, hope it isn't as bad in Austria!
Was up here this morning, realized it is too late in the year when the thermometer in the car passed 35° C at 9 in the morning so came home. It is a nice cool 26° C back at home, feels like winter
It's easy to see how Furnace Creek got it's name.
Yes, we (work) used to own property out there and are donating it to a group that will maintain it while letting students come out to study the desert. They will turn it into a museum and return the rest to its natural habitat. It is very beautiful, but very fierce and unforgiving.
