my Rogue was pushed a lane over a few minutes ago as we crossed the croton reservoir These winds are gusting well over 50mph and the temp is already in the single digits If I were on the bike it would have been disaster I do not think I will be taking my normal walk in the morning  Seems like a good day to just sit at home and watch the fire channel in the family room |

It's currently -5F on the ramp, planes are bouncing on their tethers. Wind is howling at 30 mph. Windchill is -40F....
A tad bit unpleasant.

Blegghhh... we got it at Christmas and it "only" got down to 7. Plenty of wind, though. Have fun chipping the ice out of the horse's water trough... -Mike |

Chopping ice from the water trough isn’t my favorite activity….but a nessasary one.

I like this information. Next time I go across that area I will call to have the fence repaired. |

We have had more serious winds this winter. Thankfully they weren't during our cold snap. We left WY and its winds more than two decades ago. The last month reminded us why we left. Lotf of 30-40 mph straight winds with gust up to 50 lasting more than 24 hours. Few miles to the east, winds were up to 60 plus. Lots of storm fronts coming through.

When it blows this hard... it sucks.
Around my house, when it blows this hard, you are in danger of getting chunks of oak deadwood falling on your head (roof, shed, truck, yada).
I've been walking 2 miles around my neighborhood daily for a long time. Cold isn't too bad, but cold and a hard blow together freezes your face off. So treadmill.
