(RALEIGH) -- There is something in the air, and with a warmer than normal winter, many cars are coated with the greenish-yellow powder known as pollen  Tom Mather with the North Carolina Division of Air Quality said certain types of pollen present more of a problem than others.

"The oak trees are what typically bother people the most this time of year," said Mather.  "The pine pollen is a lot more visible and that's what you see all over the cars and in puddles and on your windshield."

The Division of Air Quality keeps daily reports on pollen.  They count the intensity and type of pollen coming from places such as Long Leaf and Loblolly Pine trees.
