What?

I looked at Weather.com this morning & was surprised to see we had an alert.  These are usually reserved for inclement weather & the like.   We've cooled back down a bit, but nothing severe.  There were no signs of extreme weather.   What was this alert about?

Pollen.   It was a high pollen alert.  A high allergen alert in mid January.    There shouldn't be anything growing in Oklahoma midwinter.  Still, there it was, a high pollen alert.

That explains at least 1 of the reasons I've felt like crap the last couple of days.  This has been an extremely odd Winter so far.  We've vacillated between frigid & unseasonably warm.  We've been wetter than normal & then arid.  Now, we're dealing with Winter pollen counts.  This sucks.  If this keeps up, I may have to break out my Claritin, I'm already using allergy eye drops.

Cya...
