It gets bad here also, were in what they call the Pine Belt, so we get covered in the fluorescent green pollen. The Pine Belt, also known as the "Piney Woods", is a region in Southeast Mississippi. The region gets its name from the longleaf pine trees that are abundant in the region. Contents Geography[edit] The Longleaf Pine belt covers 36 counties in Mississippi. It is east of the Mississippi Delta region, north of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and south of the Jackson area. History[edit] In the years before Mississippi was discovered by Europeans, Native American tribes populated the state. Specifically in the Pine Belt region of Mississippi, the Natchez tribe resided. The Natchez provided a formidable challenge for French and Spanish settlers, but their population halved less than 15 years after contact with Europeans. Disease and warfare eventually forced them to settle with the Creek people or English colonists. The Mississippi Territory eventually became a U.S. state in 1817, and the Pine Belt became more populated and Mississippi's main economical attribute next to agriculture. After the American Civil War, railroads were extended into the area. With its main industry inert, farming became more popular, but due to poor soil, the area struggled.

Tarheel Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Sunny, windy, 65. Rain yesterday knocked some of the pollen down☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted March 25, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2019 Looks like the snow up North has changed to water and is flooding everything, and from what they say it's going to be around for a while.I bet they liked the snow better with a slow melt instead of this. They are already talking about what could happen as rivers send it South. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
