Okay, so I've got some stuff. I guess that I should get back to blogging.
We had some record wind gusts this past Sunday. It is pretty crazy to sit in our living room and watch our window breathe. Yes, it moves in and out, a little scary.
Sunday, January 13th
Airport clocked @ 66mph
Mayflower Island near Douglas @ 70 mph
Federal Building (downtown, across the channel from us) @ 75 mph
Top of Eaglecrest Ski Area @ 90 mph
Sheep Mountain @ 154 mph
Along with the Sheep Mountain winds here's a little story:
Friday one of the helicopters was on top of that mountain. The weather got to bad to fly out so they had to hike down to be picked up. Which means the helicopter got left there. Picture what 154 mph wind gusts do to a helicopter, not good apparently. Yicks. Bob will have to let you know the progress of it's repairs.
So let's see, now we can add record winds to our list of new experiences since we have been here. MJ

WOW!
It wasn't a record and it wasn't wind but I could see my breath while cooking in your brother's kitchen this weekend (4 degrees on Sunday). I had forgotten just how cold a wood and electric heater heated house can be! He had Angelica out helping him cut wood and I was out there too.....burrrrrrrr!
NOTE: The 4 degrees WAS outside not inside
Holy Crap Batman.... those are some winds!
