Allegra, pollen, New Corvette color "Northeast Yellow"
4 hours parked at the golf course, the car was clean. Sneezed and itchy watery eyes the whole back nine........Tis the season!

Tree pollen sucks. I have to deal with Cottonwood trees here in Texas. In one season they drop spore pods that look like spiked golf ***** that explode into 1/4 inch long fibers, in another they drop white pollen like snow, and in yet another they drop black dots of sap. There are more than a hundred of these things in my neighborhood. I would really like to beat the crap out of the guy who thought these would be a good idea.

Wow! I have never seen it anywhere near that bad. Keep that cabin air filter FRESH!

Glad I was able to help. Sounds like you are enjoying the new setup. Looking forward to hearing what you did.

Dealing with it in PA too. Nothing to do but wash it off.

That's the worst pollen that I've ever seen.

It's just as bad in the south east too! I have a ton of oaks around me. I cleaned the gutters, blew off the house roof, deck, walks, drive & washed my Vette on Saturday. Sunday morning walked out to get the paper & it's like I never did a thing the day before. I'm lucky though, no allergies!

That's like Two months of the year, every year here in the Atlanta Area. We have had the pollen count, no joke above 10,000 before. This year was mild, only saw over 5000 a couple days.
I have actually seen the wind blow clouds of pollen out of trees on some days around here.

I can sympathize......was at a show a couple of weeks ago with our black '51 Chevy streetrod and the pollen here in Knoxville was so bad that it was blowing around in mini tornado columns....lots of pine trees around and they looked like they were on fire/smoking!
