I hear ya, @aart! When we've gotten new dogs, it's always during spring or summer. I don't want to be doing the "gotta go, mom, gotta GO!" thing when I need to put on a coat, hat, gloves, and boots.

Evening update: it’s blowing 72mph and expected to increase up to 87mph. And that’s just a weak wind compare to the ones in spring - not quite at “the house is shaking” stage yet

Every couple of years we get a storm with winds like that!

The Sierras in California get 100mph winds every winter. No one is up there then though...

Wait... @ronott1 did you mean 100 or 10 pounds?

I can lift 50 pound feed bags onto my shoulder but if I pick up a second one, I can feel it pushing on the nerves. I am so much better now though!

but still can't lift more than 100 pounds over my head-- puts too much pressure on the spine that way.

I've not damaged my back and I seriously doubt I could lift 100 pounds over my head!
It is enough to heave a 50 pound bag of feed onto my shoulder. Guess I'm a wimp.

Evening update: it’s blowing 72mph and expected to increase up to 87mph.

Um, that is hurricane wind!!!!!

It was warm and rainy yesterday. The temp dropped to 26 overnight and now my deck is a skating rink with little white ice balls all over it.

Don't go out on the deck Tonya!

Don't go out on the deck Tonya!

Is it wrong that I laughed watching the dogs slip and slide around on their way out?

 

[Sally PB]

Nope!

Our winds max out at 137mph gusts - typically this strength occurs in the spring time. The houses are built for it here

Definitely not the easiest of conditions to live in...
