    After living in Wyoming for over 20 years, the Kansas wind only bothers me when it comes is a swirling cloud.
    BTW do you know why Wyoming is so windy? It's because Montana blows and Colorado sucks.

    People, please!!!!! Here in Gods country you can see and taste what you breathe! To the extent that I know most of Lubbock ,Texas soil is in the cotton field back of my house. I've had vehicle paint jobs ruined with the sand, not to mention unable to drive cause you couldn't see past the hood!!! Snow banks you say????? We have sand dunes on the highways( just drive twixt the reflector signs). Seriously though back in '09 we had range fires that reduced everything to dust, no greenery as far as the eye cn see! Most started by smokers tossin cigs out of car windows.

    Last time I was through Pecos it was, literally, raining reddish-brown mud from the sky. I think that's the first moisture they'd seen in six months. At least it was coming straight down, and not sideways like the dry stuff does. I never did get all the mud stains off the Toyota, it looks like chocolate milkshake exploded under the hood. I really do love west Texas, just not that particular part of it, I like it from the Davis mountains, south to about Mexico City.

    My spot on the N TX prairie sees a bit of wind; had my roof replaced a few years back and the crew had spent some time in FL, they did it to hurricane standards. Should last awhile, I was getting tired of replacing the shingles half a bundle at a time.
    I've been trying to build a metal workshop when winds allow, when the winds pick up we call our efforts "piloting experimental aircraft". Hope to get the roof on soon so I can start getting the electrical stuff done.

    Well we heard they are calling for another high wind warning starting tomorrow morning til Tuesday night. That means it will probly hit us tonight about midnight. When its going to blow hard, it usually starts between midnight and 1am.


    Uh oh, just as I posted this, I heard the wind generator start spinning again.

    I live in Casper. Wind hardly blows at all. Every once in a while a cinder block or semi truck might go rolling by out back when the breeze picks up a bit, but other than that ya hardly even notice....
    I'll be a nice to you as you'll let me be, or as mean as you make me be.

    Make sure your lead is tied down..............

    Tent camped in Wyoming once. For some reason I used all my guy lines that night. Instinct proved me right. When I got up in the morning it became obvious why you don't want to use a Walmart tent in that country. all the cheap one were lying on the ground torn up......

    Wind picking up here but I haven't looked at the forecast. Was nice today so I checked all the solar panel bolts to make sure they were tight and picked up some stuff that had blown in. Gained 3 new garbage cans this winter of nobody claims them from the front yard where I put them. Few kids balls and parts of a toy airplane...

    It was a 2.5 Mils into the wind kind of day today at the 1000 yard line.....sometimes you need to go out in the wind to stay humble.

    A while back a neighbor has his hanger turn over and land on the interstate, ruined the plane inside. http://www.kbzk.com/news/plane-damag...hitehall-exit/

    A friend who is not given to joking much says he has hated the last three weeks, he sees a cow with her tail straight out and cannot tell if she is calving or just the wind.

    I love Wyoming, have a new family member from there and have been
    vacationing in the mountains and parks for over 40 years.

    BUT - I don't really want to deal with their winters any more.
