High wind

Local radio was letting us know this morning that the high roads – those that are always first to succumb to ice & snow – were this morning closed because of high winds. I don’t remember hearing of that before, but I see from the web that it does happen sometimes. This website also has a video showing just why the Woodhead Pass is considered one of the most dangerous roads in the country.

It had been pretty blustery down here, but nothing to cause even me any alarm – I really am scared by high winds - & I was both relieved & surprised to see, when I went out, that there were no signs of anything nearly that strong overnight.
