Wild windy weather

In general, I am a sucker for weather. I delight in watching all flavors of storm. Sometimes I stand outside just to feel the low coming through.

So yesterday was a treat. Usually experiencing weather involves getting wet and cold. Yesterday I had the opposite. It was hot (about 90F), really sunny, and VERY windy. This was not your warm summer breeze. No, this had girls clinging to their skirts for fear of accidentally pulling a Marilyn. Hair, paper and small people were flying everywhere. Nothing like feeling extra "motivated" into the street. And the wind kept changing direction, so you couldn't effectively do the Lean to counterbalance the effects of being blown over.

It was pretty funny, mostly because of the effect that it had on other people. People were clutching, leaning, or just striding through the wind. I gave up on having decent looking hair, and a hat would have just gotten blown down the street. Sensorily, it was pretty cool to actively feel the warm blown across your legs. The only bad part was that the wind kicked up alot of larger particles, which despite glasses, still got in my eyes.

Sadly, all that weather energy failed to produced the wild thunderstorms forecasted. And as a result it is still muggy, if cooler today.

on an unrelated note: There is a rumor at my job that I am Canadian. And I am delighted!
