Guaranteed one Stampede out-of-towner has asked this question after they saw all this fluff raining down from the sky.

MY GOD why is there all this fluff this year?!?!?!

What exactly is it?! Tree sperm? I've never had allergies from stuff like this before but I got it pretty bad. Roof of my mouth is itchy, sneezing, watery/itchy eyes. I've been this way for about 2 weeks. I am considering buying an anti-histamine.
What's the deal?!?! Anyone else fed up with it? The north is a mess from all this fluff crap.
