In April, yes it is. I made a mistake 2 years ago and left my convertible top down after coming back to the office after lunch. That sticky yellow pollen was everywhere in my car.

It is, it's kind of hilarious. There are tracks in the road as if we had a dusting of snow. GREEN SNOW.

I don't remember it being this bad. I had to wipe all the windows of the car so I could see out this morning -- it reminded me of snow!

my loaner car doesnt have washer fluid apparently. the pollen plus morning dew made my windshield a lovely mess. i could see it in the air underneath pine trees on rt 1 this morning. it really is like snow. this is hilarious to me. my allergies from up north (maple, perhaps?) arent really acting up down here from normal activities, though sitting outside for hours on end makes them flare up a little. so i guess i prefer this. i know it might rain friday, so that might help. but how long till we see an end of this? is it like another week, or most of april?

Do people here tend to wash their cars more often to get rid of the pollen, or do they wait until it's over and clean up the mess? My car has a slight dusting of pollen. I parked next to someone whose car was 10x worse than mine. I vacuumed the cushions on my patio furniture this past weekend. I can already see some new pollen that will need to be cleaned up.

We were not here last april, so we made the mistake of power washing our screened in porch and getting everything for summer out there. Not again! lol

Next year we are going to wait until the pollen storm has finished lol

Really not much point in washing cars for a week or two.

But hey, leave the trees alone! They're just doing what every teenaged boy does nightly!
