Welcome to Florida. Where the MidWest and NorthEast have snow, we have this. The pollen’s so bad not even the rain can wash it away. These are some pictures from my employer’s parking lot.
Here’s a puddle:
YUCK
And here’s where the pollen should have drained away:
The pollen didn’t quite drain right
Another puddle. Believe it or not, there are no chemicals causing those swirls:
That’s not chemical swirl – It’s Pollen!
New parking lot drainage, see the nice circular yellow spot?:
This is how thick it really is

We’ve had pollen alerts on and off for the past few weeks at High and Severe. And people wonder why I’m crying. Allergic conjunctivitis SUCKS. That’s life in the South for you, though.
