I first noticed them during a bright sunny with 2 feet of snow on the ground. People thought I was nuts when I said I could see these spots moving around. That was in 1969 when I was 18 years old and they have been getting worse since. Most of the time I don't notice them or pay attention to them but I wish there was a way to get rid of them!
