Wow!
It's like summer snow in my neighborhood...living at the edge of a
park/wildland that has cottonwoods in it, it has been 'snowing'
cotton for several weeks now, with cotton collecting along
pavement/grass interfaces, waterbodies, blowing light blizzards in
windy days. You don't dare leave your car windows open outside, and
screens are 'thickening'.
One of my first thoughts was one of Aldo Leopold's vignettes, where
he wrote of the 'the land' and bemoaned those who would cut down
nearby native cottonwoods because they would 'plug their screen
doors' on hot spring/summer days...
