  Ice storms

Movimentado — Spring break em Estados Unidos

• Temporada

  Pine pollen season

  15 Mar – 10 Mai · normalmenteRisco

  Loblolly pine coats cars, porches and the surface of every pond in the city yellow for several weeks each spring. The grains are large enough that most people's noses ignore them; the oak and grass underneath is the problem.

• Natureza

  Dogwood and azalea bloom

  20 Mar – 25 Abr · normalmenteFlores silvestres e floradas

  The old neighbourhoods around Oakwood and Hayes Barton go white and pink for a few weeks, and the JC Raulston Arboretum times its open days to it. Colour arrives a week earlier here than in the mountains.
