It's that time of the year when the poplar and cottonwood trees release their seeds. They're released in what looks like fluffy pieces of cotton that float in the air similar to dandelions, which also looks like it's snowing.
The picture below kinda gives you a sense to what it looks like. Annoying really and messy. It's a terrible feeling when your out and about in the yard and inadvertently swallow or snort these things, YUK!
Fortunately, the pool is still covered but in years past with the cover was removed these cotton seeds would literally coat the top of the water. What a pain in the tuchus too, as it clogs the skimmers and taxes the pump. When using the hand skimmer, it clogs it too and gets super heavy.
Here's a short video I took that gives you a better idea of how crazy this is a times -
Good times!
