wendy hanson mazet is a master gardener and knows alot about plants. wendy hanson mazet: "we do not have enough moisture yet but we've gotten some moisture so one of the things that we're seeing in landscape right now is there's on a normal routine right now, and they're on a time clock that is appropriate." unlike last year where lots of trees and plants were already blooming in february. this year will be closer to average but not one hundred percent. wendy hanson mazet: "this year if we stay on a normal path we're going to to be dry, things will start blooming, start getting winds, and people will start having bad allergies and it's not only the pollen in reno we have to be worried about. wendy hanson mazet: "when a storm comes in, depending on where the wind is coming from, you're dealing with allergens the warm up and weeds and are already growing and blooming in california." so while we're getting a taste of it already in reno, the brunt of it is just around the corner in the months to come. the allergy forecast keeps pollen in the medium category
