BYC Café

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.
I have insomnia. I've been awake for a while so why not get up and make some coffee?
The wind is howling outside and it's snowing. 33F.

The wind is howling outside and it's snowing.

We had that yesterday.
Snow is still stuck at 28°, but it's supposed to be sunny and a 'warm' 47° today.

Good morning Cafe.
Thanks for the coffee Tonya. I hope you can catch up on your sleep in due course. Still blowing a gale here, but no snow thankfully (unusually mild actually).

Good morning, Cafe', and thanks for the coffee DL. The wind, the wind -------------- I deal with weather - the wind I despise.

Morning! I don't mind the wind. Up here, the wind is its own creature. It likes to play most times and rarely gets super angry. In general, the trees are used to very heavy winds, so they don't usually come down just because it got windy. The craziest wind event that I have seen was the "snowball wind." My nickname for the pieces of wind that hit the house or trees or skipped along the top of the roof. It sounded like a major snowball fight and it was tiny micro-bursts of 150-200mph wind. That took down a few trees! I think we lost one at the top of the ridge on our land but quite a few people had issues with it, imagine that.

Tree down across the neighbor's lane. Tried to call him, but apparently he dropped his landline, and I don't have his cell #. Can't walk to his house as it's a .5 mile walk through wooded area with limbs coming down. Wind

Did you have a great birthday?

meaning?

Don't bury the whole clove. Leave a bit above the soil.

I don't really worry about the wind for myself, or my house. To do any major damage the wind would have to pick something up and throw it through a window.
I do worry about the other animals though. We've lost a complete stable type shed here and three coops and one car.
My coop page shows the results of one breeze.
