Default Like being in a wind tunnel

Any warm weather we have outside is being spoiled by the ridiculous wind gusts. Had to put sand bags on my hot tub cover, wind is so strong it is lifting it and blowing the water out. I have never seen that yet in 2 years of having the tub on my patio.

Supposed to have flurries tonight but Tom Skilling is predicting 65 by Tuesday, it is really crazy weather.

I’ll take the (street drying) wind over the mess they are getting to the North!

Lots of people in shorts and convertible tops down. Here I am, stuck in an office.
I'll take the wind too over a foot of snow (north) and tornadoes (south)

Chris, as the others have posted, wind and no snow is kinda OK. I had mine out to wash it this AM, but the wind gusts were nasty! As soon as I was finished, I put the car back in the garage. Tomorrow will be a better day to drive it.
