Holy Cow, The Wind is Blowing Tonight

Coming in to work tonight from Fort Collins, I could feel the truck start to move around a little on the interstate and once I made the turn to the west for the main road that takes me into were I work, you could really feel the brunt force of the wind. Now I remember why I hated to drive in the wind in Wy when I was driving those big rigs cross country. The wind was picking up all the loose gravel/snad off the road and blowing it in to the windshield. You could here it just pelting the windshield and the cab of the truck. Once I got to work and parked, that was a new adventure in getting the door to open. One thing I have learned that is if you leave all the windows up and you have the high winds we are having tonight (wanings out for >80mph gust), you stand a chance of having a shattered window(s) in your car. So just a small crack is all is needed in one of the side windows to let the pressure equalize in the car. Plus it is really warming us up before the big cool down that is going to be coming after the wind.

Well till later....
