As a kid, you probably didn't pay attention to politicians.
White pines up here in New England do the same thing - everything coated in yellow for weeks!Folks in the Middle Atlantic, USA, will understand this one ....

For those that don't, yellow pines release a HUGE amount of pollen, that coats everything. Once it starts, I don't wash my car for the 4 to 6 week season, as it's pointless. The car will be yellow again in an hour.
Our first spring in NC, we were excited to open the windows in March, as the weather was beautiful (compared to Upstate NY at the same time). A co-worker told my wife to shut the windows ASAP! We were cleaning for 2 weeks to get all the pollen gone.
This is also the start of allergy season -- oak pollen and a host of others release at the same time. Yellow pine pollen gets blamed, but it's the ones that are not visible that are the culprits. Not that it matters which pollen is responsible -- allergies suck!
