I remember piles of tumbleweeds like that back in the 1950s and 1960s.

For anyone who has lived in the west it is not new.

Nope, nothing new at all. If there’s any kind of open field upwind the potential for masses of tumbleweeds exists. The pic above is nothing like what hit our neighborhood. The first two streets on the west side of the development were buried up to the eaves.
