The Windy Cities

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

The wind sure was howling last night.  Vista Field airport recorded a gust of 62 mph, and about the same was said elsewhere.  While it makes a bad hair day certain for ladies, the wind has its advantages.  How else can you get rid of snow and mud in 24 hours?  Air purity is another plus.  A high wind like last night’s probably isn’t needed, but the wind we get regularly keeps our air circulating and clean.  Visit anywhere in a valley that doesn’t get much wind and an occasional breeze you will be thankful for.
