| When we lived in Largo, Fl., we had a pond behind the house. It was full of cattails. We had an inground swimming pool. When the cattails shed their little 'puffs', and they got past the catch basket and into the filter, it was impossible to get the filter clean! Probably the same thing. You have my sympathy! |

lol, I don't doubt it. You get too many of those annoying trees in one area and this time of the year you've got a Spring Blizzard!
And speaking of plowing, they next thing to hit coming up in June is the annual emergence of the june bugs/may flys (same thing- thru the years different people were brought up calling them one of the two). Some years are worse than others, but there have been some times in the past that the city of Port Clinton, OH (right on the lake) has had to literally plow them off the roads. You get a few million of those dead (rather large/juicy) carcasses on the roads and they form an oily like mess that actually causes accidents!

Well familiar with the Mayflies. We lived on Lake St. Clair and they were horrible for a few weeks avery year. They stunk, they crunched underfoot, and the critters couldn't eat enough to make a dent in them.
Be glad you don't have Love bugs. They have an acid in their bodies that will eat the paint off your car. We get them twice a year, in Floirda. I had to get a Corvette repainted after a Lovebug infestation I drove thru, and couldn't wash the car for several hours, ate the paint up on the front of the car. |

Dundee May fly festival. AKA party.
And I will never forget coming back from Cedar Point and driving thru a swarm in the 86 Capri had to stop to scrape the windsheild so as to keep driving. Wipers where no match  |
