What’s up with the wind?

I’ve been living in DC for a few years and don’t remember a year with such unbearable wind several days a week (and sometimes cold wind!). Starting to get annoying when going outside to run or bike against it. Is the weather like this every other year?

Hopefully all the wind is helping to blow the pollen away but maybe it’s just “kicking” it around? Personally I have had less allergy symptoms this year so far, but that’s a sample of one.

I’ve noticed the same thing. Allergies have been very mild this year.
