Pine Pollen.

Lakesrider · 06-05-2013, 09:26 AM

I think it is starting. Ii could taste it this morning when I went outside and my Blue truck was starting to turn green........

Is it late, or did it already happen. because I don;t recall seeing my truck very green this year, like in years past. Have not seen it on the water yet either.

I noticed it a couple weeks ago, clouds of yellow blowing off the pines on Christmas Island. My car has had pollen on it too.

I believe it is on it's way in. The other pollens like the maple, oak and birch have just about all gone after the last rain. Now that is my non professional feeling.

I saw some on the water last weekend.

Oh, it's definitely here. The water has a yellow coating. I'm hoping the rain on Friday and Saturday will wash it away.

I believe that the pine pollen is the last major wave to arrive. It usually starts around now and lasts until the end of June give or take.

I always mark the pine pollen as a Father's Day issue. But as others have noted, the rains this year have helped knock the pollen down more than past years. Hopefully the rain this weekend will help. At least let's hope it's good for something. I'm getting tired of the cold, raw, air (last weekend notwithstanding)

I am getting tired of it, too. MM. I want mid 70s at least and sunny. Is that too unreasonable??

I think I spoke too soon. I was outside a minute ago and noticed this stuff coming down. Pine Pollen. Here is a picture of my truck. There wasn't anything on it last night when I got home. There isn't much but it is raining down pollen right now with the breeze we have today.

Supposed to rain tomorrow and Saturday. I feel bad for Bike week 'cause it does not have a very favorable forecast so far......

I'm almost surprised folks still come. The weather during Bike Week has been lousy for about 5 years in a row now.

Last year bike week was great weather, I remember rainy years prior, but last June was a great weather month...in fact, the whole summer was great.

That's what I recall too. The previous few years were pretty tough, weather wise. Let's hope this storm passes quickly and we have a good week.

The shoreline is loaded with pollen this morning. looks like it all got washed in the lake from the rains. Hopefully the rain curbed the pollen count.
