“The South has the sniffles from pollen.”
March 28, 2007 on 8:38 am | In weather, rant | 4 CommentsThis article on Yahoo! news is cute. The sniffles. That’s the best they’ve got?
Atlanta’s pollen count hit 5,499 particles per cubic meter of air Monday, the highest so far this season and the fourth highest in the 12 years that the Atlanta Allergy and Asthma Clinic has been keeping records… A reading of 120 is considered extremely high in the Southeast.
That’s serious pollen. That’s not “sniffles” pollen. That’s sinus headache, violent sneezing, watery eyes pollen. I haven’t worn my contacts or eye makeup all week because neither go well with crusty eyes.
On the bright side, bees are enjoying this weather, right? They best be. I’m expecting them to crank out some serious honey this year. Happy spring, everyone!
