I don't have any of those trees around me up here. Just Maples.
But the pine trees have been very light on the sap this year.

The morning cleanup of the windshield on my truck to remove the accumulated sap has been going on since late July...and it isn't even parked underneath the surrounding oaks.
I used to use the wipers and washer fluid to clean my windshield every morning but I found it tended to "gum up" the wiper blades after a few mornings. So it's been Windex and a couple of paper towels instead.
I just checked the oaks behind my house and the leaves on the lower branches are all 'wet' as I described in my original post. That we're in 'dry' conditions without much rain over the past month makes what I'm seeing even more puzzling.
