You would think that with all the rain we've been having, the typical allergens in the air would settle down quite a bit. Maybe not as potent as usual. For me, the rain often rustles up other things that get me sneezing like crazy. This past week, I have sneezed like one of Snow White's dwarves, and I am over it...
If Farmer's Almanac is right, Illinois could be in for a very interesting Spring as the time around Easter is predicted to be nice, but the rest of the season will be 'unsettled'.
I wouldn't lose any sleep over this if I were you (yet), but Illinois is being warned to brace itself for a major winter storm that is allegedly coming for one specific week in January of 2025.
