  3. oh this is not good Heidi...........wind like this could really do some damage and its so scary. The thing about snow and cold and ice is that they are silent....... You can sit indoors with the fire lit and curtains drawn and not really know any thing about it till the next day, but no one can ignore this wind. I'm not afraid of thunder storms, I watch them from my window...........but this wind, scares the shit outa me.

  6. It's been pretty calm in Kansas. Normally, we have the high winds this time of year. Bundle up and be safe. Flying slates can be deadly.

  7. Jeez Loretta, I heard that you're really getting slammed up there!! Down here we've have had winds of 55- 60 mph with stronger gusts, but it's dying right off now, but I heard it was much worse in Scotland. Stay safe!!!

  10. The big bridge over the Cleddau river was closed for a time and the ferry crossing to Ireland was cancelled. The wind has started to pick up again the last half hour, although not as powerful as earlier.

  12. Hope it dies down soon. We're having our Christmas weather, which is fog. If it isn't fog, it's rain.

  13. Really, weirdly enough my sister thought it was windy up by where she lives but I didn't think it was that bad down here by the lake. Lake Ontario that is. Not the biggest but one of the Great Lakes never the less. We are located in Toronto. My sister lives in what they call the city above Toronto in a place called Vaughan. She is farther north and it is colder the farther north you go. The lake usually keeps us a little warmer the closer you are in winter and in summer the cooler. Plus, we aren't in the snow belt and seem to be protected from Lake effect snow.
