Just moved from VA last year where we also had pollening, but nothing like this. My lord.

Video is from my security camera which apparently the IR light does a fantastic job of illuminating the pollen that is just thick in the air here.

      We have pollen drifts like snow drifts on our front porch*. Apparently pines are one of the bigger offenders when it comes to pollen and unknowingly we moved to the middle of a pine forest. It may not be this bad state wide…

      *This is only a slight exaggeration

        We are next to a small pocket of woods, so it might be the same with us. I’ve seen this flurry in my cameras as well, and I always thought it was snow or dust. Had no idea it was pollen

          It definitely looks like snow; but it’s well above freezing. I thought it was gnats at first but eventually it got to be too thick to blame on gnats 😂

    This isn’t even bad yet. Give it another week or two! Sometimes the news helicopters will give the view from just a couple thousand feet up and you can clearly see there’s just clouds of the stuff, like a yellow fog covering the land.
