Hi - Bye John & Shaun. Time to leave, dr. appt. this afternoon.
Bud, didn't realize oak trees had pollen, usually think of flowers when I think pollen. Hey, I been hanging around Jr., I'm gettin' edjumikated. Honest. I've already lernt how too spell KATT.
"This is shaping up to be the fourth year in a row of record-high tree pollen," Golden said.
The spring pollen season in Maryland tends to peak between April 25 and May 2 as trees (mostly oaks) overlap with the start of grass pollination.
Pollen counts typically climb to between 1,200 and 1,500 grains per cubic meter of air, but in recent years have reached as high as 4,000.
We might now be approaching an all-time high. Wednesday's count in Baltimore reached 1,391, Golden said, "a record for this early in April."
"There have been years when we barely got to that level late in April," he said. "I am loath to predict what the season is going to be like. ... We're still three or four weeks away from the peak."
I don't care WHAT grasses do....all I'm waiting for is for the oak trees to knock off with the spreading their sex around!
Sounds like you're in for a rough spring. Mebbe try some of Jr.'s liquid medicine? Hear it cures about everything ( at least till the next morning when you wake up ).
