    Sounds rough. Might be even worse if any heavy snow or freezing rain mixes in.

    Not bad here yet with wind around 30mph so far but the trees are beginning to bend a bit. Warning says after 6:00 this evening. The good thing is that the snow all melted off the trees else it could have been a disaster in the making.

    It's getting pretty ruff around here. Wind is gusting can hear it building through the trees. Dropping lots of small branches on the roof. Kinda worried about trees uprooting but it's been mostly dead stuff coming out.

    I don't think it was as bad as predicted but it was surely howling through the treetops. It was supposed to continue today albeit not as strong but we did not have much wind at all today which is just fine with me. It did not get as warm as predicted today either. Not a lot of thawing but there was much thawing overnight.
