We are in the throes of a pine pollen attack here in middle Georgia. My baby is in the garage under a car cover, but here is a couple pics of my Odyssey. This is pollen accumulation of just one day.

WOW jUST LOOKING AT THAT MAKES MY EYES WATER AND BURN

 

Howard, be glad you are not here. I am having the worst headaches ever from this. It has my sinuses all jacked up. Itchy watery eyes, swollen sinuses, and migraine like headaches. It sucks. We really need a heavy rain to knock this stuff out.

 

We have cottonwoods around here, just had to cover the roadster....they are sticky little spores...gummy crap won't come off very easily...got to make room in the garage for the coupe

 

We have the same issue here.....gets on every thing, if you stand still to long it will get on you....lol.

 

Same around here, Doc.
Not to mention the maples are budding which means small red fuzzballs that stick to everything & leave nice reddish stains on anything they glue themselves onto.

 

My father has 100 acre's of pine ready for select cut timber in White Store Township,N.C.. This time of year you can actually see the continual falling yellow pollen in the sun light. The only thing breathing there is lots of deer. Squirrel Crusher

 

My whole sub-division was a pine tree farm at one point. I have just a little over an acre lot, and more than half of the lot is thick pine trees. I went out and rinsed the pollen off the boat and car last night, and this morning they were completely covered again. It really sucks..... We have 80 degree weather now, and I can't take the cover off the X and get her out.

 

Had my car out yesterday, Hope and I went 130 miles round trip to work on my house. The dash is light green now....

The pickup has been out for several days, it's filthy with pollen, going to wash it off and probably wash the car after dinner tongiht - which should be served in abotu 10 mins.

 

If anyone wants to see what a yellow coupe looks like, there's one in my driveway. Pollen ruins everything. My wash job and my sinuses.

 

All the trees are still sleeping here in Colorado. I won't have to worry about pollen for another 4-6 weeks.

 

I've been waiting for you to respond with the horror stories of CO. I know from living there, that is one hell of a pollen storm when those trees do wake up. That and the pine needles are the only two things I miss out there. Good luck when it does hit.

 

The car will do its best by staying in the garage with frequent bathing...

 

I think I may call the local fire station tomorrow and see if they would mind me doing a "controlled burn" and burning down every single tree within 10 miles.

Gone through a lot of tissue paper...

 

Jus t a few observations:

Pollen is very heavy this year.

I made a mistake in washing/claying/waxing 3 cars in last 10 days.

Rinsing/washing it off is an exercise in futility. Just a waste of water.

If you cherish it: don't drive it. Cover it. Leave windows closed.


I'm at work and going home now. My head and chest feel like "Bitin' Mike's" sparring partner.

Adios.

 

pollen is striking us also and my sinus. arrg

 

What pollen?? LOL

No really my baby is covered in it also, have get the California Duster out every time I go somewhere!!!

 

Glad it's not just me........lol

 

Hey I drove through that yellow garbage floating in the air in Georgia on Saturday, It looked like it was a sand storm or something. My head was a mess!

 

I got sick of washing my car so I got a car cover, much easier now. I like my cover from empire covers, its light weight and the pollen blows off the cover.
