Minwax oil-based Wipe-On Poly doesn't yellow.

The can calls it "slight ambering". ;-)

(Gotta love those marketing folk.)

*Everything* yellows around here in the Spring.

Ah yes the pines of the south.

I comes out of the trees like snow. ...but don't eat the yellow snow


We have Cottonwood trees in my area. We get late spring/early summer
"snowfalls". Not as bad as this, but close.

Not like that on the ground but this isn't unusual:

OTOH, we had a *real* snowfall earlier this week, 3" worth. It melted on the
driveways/roads, but we had to take the snowbrushes out of storage.

We had 2" a few years ago and it shut down the city for three days
(named "Snowmageddon"). We lost power for three days. With electric
heat (heat pumps) it got rather cold.

Worse. idiot politicians warned companies to send people home early,
just as schools were getting out. It got so bad that people abandoned
cars on the interstates. Busloads of kids were stuck in the ensuing
(not so) rush hour. At least one bus with lower-primary school kids
was stuck on the interstate overnight. Can you imagine being trapped
with a busload of 5-8 year-olds, overnight, without bathrooms?
