Pollen everywhere

In NC we always have a heavy pollen season. It started about a month ago with varieties that one can't see but are bad for allergies. Now after several days in the upper 80s, the pine trees have cut loose. Pine pollen is to large to trigger most allergies, but boy does it make a mess.

Every thing outside has a greenish yellow coating. In places, the blowing pollen looks like a heavy fog. I have rarely seen the pollen this thick.

I've been wearing a mask outside and it does help.

Howdy from Durham!

They say the pine pollen that you see doesn't generally cause the most problems with allergies.

I'm not sure which one is getting to me this week, oak or elm maybe?
