W-I-N-D

Yesterday, the wind blew hard and gusted into the 40's for 18 hours.  Today hasn't been so bad--less than 12 hours so far.  The wind is really taxing the patience of the local populace.  I know it's taxing OUR patience!  We talked today about the possibility that the wind might blow forever here now, what with the volcano and so forth.  I guess that means we might get blown away.  Whatever!  Cheers, jp

PS--Here is the forecast for tonight: "Tonight...Mostly cloudy. Scattered rain showers with possible snow showers and thunderstorms in the evening...Then a slight chance of rain showers and snow showers after midnight. Windy. Snow accumulation around 1 inch.
