    Maybe we'll get wind today? It was a little breezy last night, but nothing like they were talking about. I hate wind, it's one thing that will wake me up at night. Slept great last night.

    I heard rain on the roof early this morning......woke me up. Weird part is there's several inches of snow up there.

    Already got to 60mph here. 30mph constant. The generator is ready if needed. Guy across the street had a dead poplar come down and crush his fence barely missing his house.

    Even tho he's certified loony tunes, I'll probably cut it for him, but I'm not cleaning it up.

    So far, so good. Wind started to pick up here between 8:00 and 9:00 this morning. Currently 20-30 or 25-40 depending upon which station you tune in to. It is howling in the trees here and that usually happens around 35-40 mph wind. Now howling only when the wind is gusting. But actually, it is disgusting. :headbang:
