Pine Pollen unreal today.....

Lakesrider · 05-21-2012, 05:10 PM

Wow! The pine pollen was so bad you could literally see it wafting around in the air today. As a matter of fact, I could actually taste it at times. Driving by Mirror Lake this morning the entire surface of the water was coated with it. Hopefully the rain tonight will wash some of it off my truck. It used to be blue, but today it is very green.

I know what you mean but it's not looking like much rain if any. Gotta clean everything in the house now.

I have gotten up so many mornings already this year with a sinus headache.
I can remember years we would be anchored off Timber and watch the pollen coming off the pine trees and it looked like green fog it was so thick.

If you have your doors and windows open and it blows in the house, it gets in every single nook and cranny! It takes forever to find all the hiding places. I hate it!!!!!!!!

It's been a while but I've flown over the lake during pollen season and the first time I did, I thought there had been a chemical spill! It looked like a layer of sulfer. I was relieved to learn it was just coniferous amore.

My new cat was on my porch and rolled around the floor that was covered in pollen. His black side ended up yellow(now Yellow & white).
He cleaned himself up and then had yellow hairballs. That which came up was covered in pollen. Guess he didn't like pollen.
