Default Pollen... Hu, What is it good for? Absolutely nothin...Say it again!

That time of the season again. We're going to have a week of sunshine
And I don't dare take it out yet. It's amazing how much of the stuff
falls in a day. It's finds open spaces that you didn't know were there.
How bad is it in your neck of the woods?

The anniversary red garage queen would sit in its cocoon for months at a time and during the 'pollen fall out season' and the car actually got a green overcoat without going outside before I installed the car cover.

We're pretty much done with the pollen here in South Carolina. But it was pretty bad this year, the only saving grace is that my Vette is Millenium Yellow so it doesn't show all that much.

Done in SW Florida thankfully but we get it BAD. The canal behind our house will literally have a coating of yellow on it every morning. Crap even finds it's way into the garage somehow! Haven't figured that out but it gets in....

I haven’t noticed a lot of pollen floating around so far but I doubt the season is over yet.

That has to be the worst pollen I have ever seen. Maybe this yellow/green stuff we have here isn't so bad after all.

Washed mine today and as I'm blowing it dry the pollen was already laying on the car.
Love living in the country but it's really hard to wash a black car with all the trees.

Yeah the pollen here in GA has been thick! Can't seem to keep it off any of my vehicles, even the ones I garage. Just driving around seems to get them dusted in pollen.

Live Oak pollen here coats everything and can reach over an inch thick on the ground.
