    I hope you stay away from that glass window. With those winds, it could implode. I can understand why there used to be working shutters on windows.

    I guess wind is going to pick up around here .
    Overnight winds will gust over 35 to 45 mph with sustained winds either side of 20 mph.

    Got almost an inch of rain on Christmas and today it has been really windy. Steady winds around20-25mph with gusts around 40. Lots of small branches in the yard and a couple of larger branches broke off of dead or dyuing trees came straight down. No damage done yet.

    wildwest I really don't know how the world you guys deal with the amount of wind you get out there!!![/QUOTE]Somehow in this sturdy old house its not so bad. I need to add though, I think this was one of the noisiest nights in the 4 winters we've been here. Not as high MPH gusts, must just be from a different direction than we are used to. Ya, all 5 of us were in our bed last night :rofl: :lol:

    We went from 36º this morning all the way up to 61º, still hanging at 60 outside so I haven't put anything in the stove since last night. They say 37º by morning but looking at the hourly forecast it is not supposed to start moving down until about 3a.m. and I have to head out early so the NG boiler may have to run a smidge tomorrow.

    Wind is still blowing. It is just cold and miserable to be outside in this crap. Hope I have an inside job tomorrow.

    There was one day last winter that the wind was so bad I could see the sliding glass door flexing in and out. I did wonder if it was going to hold. If it wasn't for the fact that it is a double pain door then it might have broke but thank goodness it stayed together.

    It sounds like the rain stopped and the temp is at 45, I loaded up the liberty with six cherry splits for an overnight fire.
