We get sand from the Gobi Desert blown across, mostly in southwestern Japan, occasionally in Tokyo, but not during winter fortunately.

One of the theories of influenza’s seasonal spread is wind. I was amazed to learn last spring we really don’t know why it’s seasonal.

Just send @Jacques with a couple of boxes of Dominator Elite - he's pretty much thrown everything in the PNW at that stuff by now.

Always need a hard wax for the dirt etc. Much harder than the snow temp. might call for.
The wax should also have a strong anti-static component to help repel the dirt etc. from sticking to the bases.
