There were just a couple of old, battered pollen grains in the collection this morning. The ascospores were up a bit because of the unseasonably warm weather of last night but by this afternoon they will disappear as the cooler temperatures prevail in the area. Today is the last regular report for this season. We will be back with bulletins it there is anything unusual.
