Winds blowing pretty decent right now. I aint had the hard stuff that my neighbores have, though we just had a gust of 75.3mph. Others a couple miles away clocked over 94mph. With the warm temps here right now, it is set to really get with it tonight. The most I've clocked is 135mph, I hope we dont get that tonight. Its hard to sleep sometimes. Over in the canyon where my wife works, it can REALLY blow there. Destroyed a couple weather stations and literally rolled the pavement off the road. Thats hard to imagine, but its a fact.
Spring and fall are the worst with the weather changing so fast. I think the highest so far this winter was over Thanksgiving at 117mph. Cutting up my uncles elk, I thought he was going to butt) his pants. Just normal Clark Wyo weather. When the power went out, we lit 2 Coleman lamps until we needed to grind meat, then plugged in a generator though my battery bank would have worked.
I love and hate the wind. It makes it tough to test boolits and do any long range shooting, BUT it weeds out the weak hearted from moving here and keeps my wind generator gennin. I guess theres a plus to everything.
I hope the fire dept gets the fire out in the crick bottom trees. I've actually been on a call that the wind blew the fire out. (huge help) We did lose 1 house that night. I had to literally use 4 wheel drive against the head wind to go. Granted my tires were pretty slick then.
Anybody else getting wind this time of year?
