    Our tree population is having an airborne orgy and spraying pollen all over. I feel like someone put a 2lb weight in my sinuses. Darn trees.

    My boots are caked with pollen from this weekend. Through the miracle of modern pharma-chemistry I've been able to keep the sinus probs under control. Should be wrapping up in a couple weeks.

    I've never seen anything like it when I first came to Alabama. The pine pollen turns your vehicle yellow to the point you can't see the original color. When it rains downtown the storm drains look like they have a river of lemonade inside them...

    I am giving three acres of white pine away that sits next to my house on the north side, the pollen some years is terrible. I have had the landscapers power wash the house to clean in off.
    Soon as it drys out the logger will in there cutting them.

    we were driving up thru N Carolina last week and it looked like there was a brush fire up ahead, it was just the pollen from the pine trees lining I-95. Holy moley I'm glad I'm not allergic!

    There are entirely too many pine trees in the south lol. I have to run my windshield wipers and washer fluid every morning before I leave for work so I can see clearly out of my windshield this time of year.

    It hasn't happened here yet. It doesn't bother me as much as the mold spores
