Sneeze drought of 2017: Weak on observations.

[colorado198219]

I have to say I traveled quite a bit last year but I think 2017 was the least sneezey observation year I have had. 

I spent time in three states and many times the pollen count was moderate to high, so I thought it would be a great year for observations. But oddly, it seems like a very vast majority of people would sneeze only once.

I remember spending the summer working in an area that had epic amouhts of rain and it smelled very strong yet I think I saw maybe two or three single sneezes in a week. It was just interesting how so much pollen yielded so observations.

I sort of missed the tsunami of incredible observations I encountered in 2014 and 2015. It was incredible back then because it seemed like every week and sometimes daily that I would encounter just the most random, intense sneezing fits I have ever encountered.

I sort of like to think back on the past and remember almost every sneezing observation I have came across over the years and I remember 1999, 2006 and 2014-2015 being a flood of sneezing observations.
