Well, not actually, but I wouldn't be surprised to see one (or a cow) what with all the debris mixed in with the odd snowflake that's passing my window as I sit here tapping away at you... Winds WSW at 40 to 55 km/h, occassional gusts to 80 km/h, and no sunshine, of course. The day started at 4°C but now is 0°C. I wish the weather would behave itself.

The wind just makes things so much more chaotic, doesn’t it. It makes me glad my neighbors don’t have wind chimes. A slight breeze and wind chimes are fine with me, but when they go crazy? To me, it’s a little much.

When they go really crazy, they tend to tie themselves up (or fall off).

The dear wind can make things appear from nowhere land. When we get real gusty winds I have all kinds of things going around in circles on my patio.

Yesterday I picked up a big chunk of styrofoam that was nestling beside my house, and one of those plant frost covers.

@velvet53 Mostly because people don't use real cash anymore...

@BarBaraPrz It is amazing what the wind delivers to us. Why can't it deliver dollar or bigger bills.

Send Mother Nature to the corner to adjust her attitude. We have had some days like that recently.

Sounds like a plan... do you think it'll work?

I wish it would behave itself, too. Supposedly, the high winds will slow way down later this afternoon. We're at -7C at 10:30 am with a RealFeel of -15C. (Wind has slowed to 24 kph now, which is down from 64 kph earlier this morning.)

Apparently, 0°C feels like -8°C... but I'm not about to go out and test that theory.

@DaddyEvil I agree: cold is cold.
