I've had this off and on since March. Nothing really bad, just annoying. Pollen is pretty bad this year: my wife cleans the glass-topped table in our lanai each evening and invariably the paper towel has a greenish-gray tint once she's done. Getting less now.

I chalk it up to allergies. I spent a few days in Minnesota during the first week in April and the symptoms totally disappeared, only to re-appear when I got back.
